Fund the Research; Find a Cure - on Your Tax Form
For First Time, New York Taxpayers Can Donate to Prostate Cancer Research On Their State Tax Returns with Bonus 3 to 1 for Each Dollar
NEW YORK, April 13 /PRNewswire/ -- As the tax filing deadline approaches, with just the check of a box, taxpayers can make a difference during what is usually a stressful and hectic time. For the first time, New Yorkers will be able to donate directly to prostate cancer research on Line 57 on their state income tax returns. Funds donated by New York taxpayers will support leading research institutions in New York through a competitive grant program and are 100% tax deductible. Additionally, each dollar automatically triples in value, thanks to a dollar-for-dollar match by the Prostate Cancer Foundation and New York state.
One in six men will develop prostate cancer in their lifetime -- making it the most commonly diagnosed non-skin cancer in the United States. A new case occurs every two and a half minutes and a man dies from prostate cancer every 17 minutes.
"This year, more than 14,000 New Yorkers will be diagnosed with prostate cancer. That's enough to fill Carnegie Hall five times over," said Leslie D. Michelson, vice chairman and chief executive officer of the Prostate Cancer Foundation. "It's a little known fact that a man is one third more likely to get prostate cancer than a woman is to get breast cancer. Donating on Line 57 on your tax forms is an easy and effective way to help find a cure for this increasingly deadly disease."
The Fund the Research; Find a Cure campaign will continue through the April 15th tax filing deadline, as many New Yorkers will file time extensions this year. For interviews or more information about the campaign, please visit http://www.prostatecancerfoundation.org/ .
