The ques t to cure cancer
Hall of Fame pitcher Nolan Ryan famously said, “A beautiful thing about
baseball is that every once in a while, you come into a situation where you
want to, and where you have to, reach down and prove something.” That’s
the situation cancer researchers face every day—they want to prove that
cancer can be beaten. Thanks in part to your support, they’re making
great progress in doing just that.

Since 1993, the Prostate Cancer Foundation has accelerated development
of more effective treatments, expanded our understanding of how cells
become cancerous, produced new insights into areas like nutrition, and
raised awareness of preventive activities. Most importantly, fewer men are
dying—as much as 50% below projections made in the 1990s.
By raising nearly $400 million directly, and guiding another $10 billion
in funding from others—industry, government, philanthropists, people
like you—the PCF has “Kept Dad in the Game.” More than 80 percent of
prostate-cancer research leaders have been supported by the PCF, and a
majority of drugs currently in the pipeline have our imprint on them.

But as more men live longer, more will be diagnosed—this year alone,
192,000 more. So we must continue to support these remarkable
researchers. This is the PCF Home Run Challenge’s 14th season—a
partnership with Major League Baseball (MLB), its players, managers
and teams, as well as prominent sponsors, who raise awareness about
prostate cancer worldwide and generate millions of dollars for crucial
research.
MLB players have averaged 135 home runs during the 60 Home Run
Challenge games each year—they hit 143 last year. Please use the
enclosed form or visit www.pcf.org to make a generous pledge that can
help put an end to prostate cancer. Thank you!

PC F : Leveraging Million s into Billio n s
How does the PCF grow million-dollar investments
into billion-dollar medical advances?
Financial Capital
The $400 million raised directly by the PCF has attracted the infusion of more than $10 billion
of additional funding for prostate cancer research—from government agencies, venture capital
investments, the pharmaceutical and biotechnology sections, academic sectors and other
philanthropists.
Human Capital
From what Forbes called “a research backwater” in 1993, the prostate cancer field—because
of interest and funding generated by the PCF—has attracted more than 1,000 medical scientists
into prostate cancer research. The PCF now plays a part in 90 percent of the field’s published
research, a human-capital contribution exceeding $100 billion.
Social Capital
Fragmented and underfunded in 1993, the community of medical
institutions actively pursuing a prostate cancer cure, and applying
their findings to other deadly diseases, has grown to include virtually
every major cancer research center in North America,
and dozens more worldwide. In 1993, it was rare for men to get
life-saving screening tests; today, because of PCF awareness
programs, more than 60 percent do.

home run list (see page 16).
San Diego pitcher Trevor Hoffman earned his
500th career save in June 2007. Now pitching
for the Milwaukee Brewers, Hoffman has
recorded 564 saves and has a career ERA
of 2.75 over 17 seasons.
Answer 2
Answer 5
Eric Karros.
Answer 3
Six Houston Astro’s pitchers combined to no-hit
