The most common cancer in young men is 99% beatable — when caught early.
Testicular cancer hits males 15–35 hardest, and most don't know how to check for it. TCF is the only full-time-staffed organization in the country dedicated to changing that — with trusted education, real community, and support at every step.

Half a year in. The impact
keeps compounding.

Nearly 90,000 adolescents & young adults are diagnosed each year. Testicular cancer is the #1 AYA cancer in young men — and our resources don’t stop when April does.

Testicular Cancer Foundation
The Testicular Cancer Foundation is a leading organization dedicated to raising awareness about the most common cancer in young men and providing vital support to those affected. Through early detection initiatives and educational programs, the foundation empowers men to recognize warning signs and seek timely treatment. Each year during Awareness Month, TCF amplifies its efforts to reach those at risk, spreading crucial information and encouraging monthly self-examinations. By supporting survivors and funding research, the foundation plays a critical role in the fight against this often overlooked but highly treatable disease.
Our Mission: Saving Lives Through Education
Founded in 2009, the Testicular Cancer Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and the only full-time staffed testicular cancer group in the country. We are a team of survivors, caregivers, and advocates passionate about increasing education and awareness.
Fighting a disease that affects a young demographic that feels invincible is an uphill battle, but we are taking it head-on by encouraging each survivor to share their story and supporting current patients navigating treatment.

Exclusive Survivor Network
The Cojone Club™
The Club of Many for the Club of One
The Cojone Club is exclusively for survivors of testicular cancer. It's a network of treatment survivors providing both support and moxie to each other and those with current cases. This club aims to support those navigating treatments and build relationships between survivors.
A club that knows you have to have a lot of balls to give up one – and we are out to prove it. The Cojone Club exchanges the perfunctory platitudes of sympathy with the vim and vigor of the life of a survivor. It's a club of camaraderie and brotherhood.
Free, always. Private community, member directory, weekly support calls.
