PCRI announces the search for the
HARRY PINCHOT AWARDEE
for dedication and support to the prostate cancer community
Harry Pinchot was widely recognized as one of the most knowledgeable prostate cancer advocates in the biology, prevention, and treatment of prostate cancer. Pinchot made a positive impact on the lives of countless men afflicted by prostate cancer, and their loved ones, through his efforts at the Prostate Cancer Research Institute (PCRI).
He served as PCRI’s Program Director for over a decade, and was known as “Helpline Harry” because he was always taking calls from concerned prostate cancer patients. His devotion to the mission of educating men and highlighting the plight of those affected by the disease has earned him national recognition.
Harry Pinchot lost his 13-year battle with prostate cancer in January 2008. In his honor, PCRI would like to recognize unsung heroes like Harry, who are out there making a difference in other people’s lives. Winners from previous years include: Howard Hansen, Johnny R.
