Proposal

For my senior thesis project, I will be hosting a golf outing, with Dan Lane to help raise awareness and donations for Prostate Cancer. I will volunteer hosting the golf outing and working to prepare for the event. Many different things need to be organized, like the date, course, donations, and event planning. The goal for this project is to raise more awareness for Prostate Cancer and also receive donations for the Prostate Cancer Foundation. It will also be a fun time on the golf course while doing so. The strategies I will use are organizing the event with fine details to go by, like tee times for every group. We also need to make decisions, like how much food to provide, and whether or not to give prizes for different competitions. The resources we will need are a willing golf course to play at, food, prizes, and donations. We are planning on hosting the outing for 40-50 people, as you get a group of four members to a team. The planning will take several hours to plan and the actual outing will begin at 8AM and run until everyone has finished golfing, or has left. The topic I will be researching is Prostate Cancer and the different treatments provided for it. My essential question is, are treatments necessary for all types of Prostate Cancer? I have no prior experience with this topic, other than I knew Prostate Cancer was the second leading Cancer in men, behind skin cancer. Everyone related to a family member, or friend who experienced Prostate Cancer will be affected b this project and everyone who attends the event will hopefully gain more awareness for Prostate Cancer. Potential resources for this topic are the Prostate Cancer Foundation (PCF), who we will be making our donations to.
