The Flying Saucer is selling raffle tickets between now and Sept. 9th for a chance to win great merchandise donated by various breweries. The prizes include a kegerator donated by Carolina Beer, a kayak from Labatt Blue, a golf bag from Redhook Ale Brewery and a pub sign from Dogfish Head Brewery. Consumers can also make a donation directly to Us TOO International.
Please join us.

..."Since my surgery, I've talked to all of my friends about getting tested and started a campaign called Pints for Prostates to use the universal language of beer to reach men about the importance of prostate health screenings. The program (www.ustoo.org/pints) has resulted in ads running in about a dozen publications, articles in a number more and a good level of buzz on websites and blogs. Like this spam message to all of my LinkedIn contacts, the goal is to raise awareness about prostate cancer, which when detected in the early stages can be treated and cured.
So as we all prepare for the Labor Day weekend and head into September, what can you do?
1. If you are a male and 40-years-old or older, schedule a visit to your doctor and get the simple PSA blood test.
2. Tell the men in your life over 40 years old to get tested. There are more new cases of prostate cancer detected in the U.S. each year than breast cancer cases in women. The problem is that people don't talk about prostate cancer and the silence is costing men their lives. The good news is that because of early detection and advances in treatment, the death rate from prostate cancer is dropping.
3. Visit www.ustoo.orgfor more information. Us TOO International works to support, educate and advocate for men with prostate cancer and their families. There is a ton of useful information on the Us TOO website."
