CHARLOTTE, N.C. (QC Life) - Mandrile Young sits down with QC Life host Jorge Andres to discuss the inspiring mission of Barrel Aged Charities, an organization that leverages the unique camaraderie of the bourbon community to fight prostate cancer.
By uniting enthusiasts, the charity funds critical research, raises awareness, supports local families in need, and advocates for early screenings and educational scholarships. It is a powerful example of turning a shared passion into a lifesaving platform for men’s health advocacy across the community.
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in American men, with Black men being 70% more likely to be diagnosed and over twice as likely to die from the disease. Fortunately, when caught early, the five-year survival rate is over 99%, making routine screening essential. Taking control of your health starts with a simple PSA blood test, a routine check-up that can truly make the difference between life and death.
Barrel Aged Charities is one of four local nonprofit beneficiaries for this year’s highly anticipated Chefs Against Cancer event. Taking place on Saturday, October 3, the gala will showcase culinary creations from ten of Charlotte’s premier chefs, with all proceeds directly benefiting local cancer organizations.
