2 The quest 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. Mike Milken - Founder & Chairman Jonathan Simons - President and CEO PCF PCF 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 to make a generous pledge that can help put an end to prostate cancer. Thank you! Mike Milken Chairman Jonathan Simons, MD President and CEO

3 Home Run Challenge Sponsors H o w t o p a r t i c i p a t e Fans attending games around the country contribute hundreds of thousands of dollars to fight prostate cancer. Dedicated people like you make a donation for every home run hit in 60 Home Run Challenge games this year. Safeway Corporation has raised more than $36 million for prostate cancer research through its annual June fundraising campaigns over the past eight years. Customers of Safeway stores (including Vons, Randalls, Tom Thumb, Pavilions, Genuardi s, Carrs and Dominick s) donate to the PCF at checkout counters, and with blue ribbon tear-off sheets and other in-store promotions. Safeway employees also contribute to the prostate cancer campaign. See page 2. Make a pledge at One-A-Day and Major League Baseball will donate $10 to the Prostate Cancer Foundation for every strikeout in MLB games over the next three years. Visit 1

4 Safeway and Employees A $36 Million Team. Each year Safeway and its affiliated stores host an in-store campaign for customers, vendors and employees to donate money for prostate cancer research. Since 2001, the company has raised more than $36 million. Surprise Visits to Safeway Tommy Lasorda makes surprise visits to Safeway stores during the Home Run Challenge to promote Safeway s annual effort to raise funds for prostate cancer research. Mayoral Kickoff San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom helps launch Safeway s annual prostate cancer fundraising drive in Keep on Truckin Safeway promotes its prostate cancer fundraising efforts in California by outfitting its delivery trucks with special graphics. Ready for the Big Leagues? Larree Renda, Safeway executive vice president, shows off her fastball by throwing out the first pitch at a San Francisco Giants game. Steve Burd, Safeway chairman, president and CEO, always brings a glove to HRC ball games.

5 HRC Baseball a family affair Baseball games have always been a time for dads, their families and friends to spend time together, and Home Run Challenge games carry on that tradition. Watching BP Kids and their parents often get a behind the scenes opportunity to watch teams take batting practice.

6 P C F: L e v e r a g i n g M i l l i o n s i n t o B i l l i o 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. $ 400 million Prostate Cancer Foundation Incalculable Social Capital $ 100 billion Human Capital $ 10 billion Financial Capital 4

7 6 Researchers Changing the World Breakthroughs Funded by PCF Donors Steven Balk, MD, PhD Dana Farber / Harvard Cancer Center Studying the mechanisms of resistance to new medications that are used to block the production of testosterone (cancer fuel) directly in the tumor sites. Studies may lead to prolonged drug usefulness and the definition of the next-generation treatments. David Heber, MD, PhD UCLA Center for Human Nutrition Discovered that macrophage (specialized white blood cells that scavenge invading microbes and tissue debris) activation, a condition that promotes prostate cancer progression, is associated with obesity. Clinical investigations are underway to determine if dietary changes can reverse macrophage activation, establishing a marker for successful dietary intervention. Todd Golub, MD The Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard University Using some of the world s most advanced screening biotechnologies to discover molecules that block the effects of genetic alterations in prostate cancer. These molecules could be featured in the next generation of treatments for prostate cancer. Howard Scher, MD Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center Developing two promising drug candidates for treatment of advanced prostate cancer. These oral medicines have few side effects and represent a new generation of treatments for patients who fail to respond to current therapies. Daniel Haber, MD, PhD Harvard Medical School, Massachusetts General Hospital Cancer Center Leading a research team that is refining a system to measure and identify circulating tumor cells in patient blood. This system may provide an early signal of prostate cancer progression, allowing doctors to better identify cancers and provide more informed treatments. Muneesh Tewari, MD, PhD Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center and the University of Washington Discovered small regulatory RNA molecules that circulate in the blood of prostate cancer patients. Testing is underway to validate a cancer-specific diagnostic test for prostate cancer that enables doctors to profile tumors and customize therapy. 5
