From Matthew Schmitz, M.D., About.com GuideJune 5, 2009

Follow me on:

Safeway, the giant food and drug retailer, has just launched their 9th annual month-long campaign to support prostate cancer research.

Each June, Safeway dedicates an entire month to supporting prostate cancer research. During June, shoppers at Safeway or affiliated stores (such as Dominick's, Tom Thumb, Vons, and others) can opt to donate at checkout time to prostate cancer research efforts.

Over the past 9 years, Safeway's efforts have raised more than $40 million for prostate cancer research.

Numerous institutions around the United States receive grants to fund prostate cancer research because of the Safeway fundraising efforts.
