Las Vegas, NV — April 25-27, 2025

This past weekend, the Testicular Cancer Foundation brought together survivors, caregivers, advocates, and medical professionals for the 2025 TCF Summit—an unforgettable, empowering weekend held at the luxurious Four Seasons Resort in Las Vegas. With the vibrant energy of Vegas in the background, the summit delivered a deeply personal and transformative experience for all in attendance.

From Friday’s opening round at Angel Park’s Par 3 Cloud 9 golf course to Sunday morning’s hands-on Stressticles Activation, the entire weekend embodied TCF’s mission: to educate, empower, and engage those affected by testicular cancer.

Day 1: Opening Energy & Connection

Attendees kicked things off Friday with friendly competition at Angel Park Golf Course, soaking in the sun and camaraderie. Later that evening, everyone gathered for the welcome dinner at Flight Club Bar & Restaurant, where new connections were forged over darts, drinks, and shared stories. The vibe was upbeat, welcoming, and set the tone for a weekend of authentic connection.

Day 2: Learning, Healing, and Honoring the Journey

Saturday launched with breakfast and heartfelt opening remarks by TCF CEO Kenny Kane and CMO Connor O’Leary, followed by a powerful welcome from TCF Founder Matt Ferstler. What followed was a day packed with invaluable insights, emotional stories, and dedicated time for both survivors and caregivers.

A special thank you to our incredible speakers:

• Dr. Gina Wheeler – Shared vital strategies for nutrition and wellness after cancer, reminding us that healing is a whole-body journey.
• Dr. Matthew Campbell (MD Anderson) – Delivered key updates on advances in oncologic care, offering hope through science and innovation.
• Dr. Pablo Santamaria (Wellstar) – Broke down hormonal health after TC, guiding survivors on managing changes and pursuing optimal recovery.
• Dr. John Lin (MD Anderson) – Brought perspective on the epidemiology of testicular cancer, highlighting disparities and progress in care.

We were especially moved by the survivor stories of Daniel Maywalt and Daniel Snyder—their courage and vulnerability reminded us of the real human strength behind every statistic.

Saturday also included:

• Professional headshots and a group photo,
• Breakout sessions for caregivers and survivors,
• And a free evening to explore Vegas or recharge with new friends.

Day 3: Creative Advocacy & Closing Celebrations

Sunday wrapped up with breakfast sponsored by SAXX and the interactive Stressticles Activation, a bold and playful campaign promoting early detection and self-exams. With the help of our partners at NEON, attendees got crafty for a cause—spreading awareness in a uniquely hands-on way.

We closed the summit with an awards ceremony and final remarks, celebrating the resilience of this community and the bright future we are building together.

With Deep Gratitude

This weekend wouldn’t have been possible without the unwavering support of our generous sponsors:

• SAXX Underwear
• Gavers Community Cancer Foundation
• Wheeler Machinery
• The Workman Family

Thank you for believing in this mission and helping us create a space for hope, healing, and transformation.

Until Next Year…

The 2025 TCF Summit was more than just a conference—it was a weekend of empowerment, education, and emotional connection. We left Vegas with full hearts, stronger bonds, and a renewed commitment to fighting testicular cancer together.

Until next year, keep checking yourself, supporting each other, and living with courage. 💪🎗️
