FirstFriday was organized by a long standing football coach/official from Columbus, Ohio. His name was Mike Sammons. He was diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer in March of 2006. It was in his nature to fight. He's fought the cancer by educating others about it. He fought it by trying to save others lives, so they wouldn't have to go through it too. As Winston Churchhill once said, "If you're going through hell, keep going!" So, with the help of his family and friends, the FirstFridayFoundation was born.

On March 2, 2007, Mike passed away after a valiant fight against this horrible disease. It's hard to put into words how this affected us. It was in his nature to fight, so we fight on, for him, and for others.

There is a gameplan in place. First Friday Foundation was set up to bring awareness and funding to Advanced Prostate Cancer Research. Awareness for men to understand the steps they can take to help catch this disease in it's early stages. When caught in it's early stages, it is nearly 100% curable. There is no current cure for Advanced Prostate Cancer. Funding towards finding a cure. We have partnered with One-in-Six Foundation for donations towards finding a cure.

Our goal is to make the world more aware of this disease. What the Komen Race for the Cure does for breast cancer awareness, we hope to do for prostate cancer awareness.

We can survive this.

We are in this together.

We believe we can educate.

We believe we can fight.

We believe.
