Prostate Cancer Awareness Month takes place every September. The event is marked by the wearing of light blue items, especially a light blue ribbon accessory or jewelry. Throughout the month, wearing light blue helps to bring awareness and research to prostate cancer, the most common cancer (aside from non-melanoma skin cancer) among men.
