This conference will feature an All-Star panel of doctors who will be discussing some of the hottest topics in men’s health, including Dr. Stephen Nimer, Director of Sylvester; Dr. Sanoj Punnen, who will address urology health including prostate cancer; Dr. C. Ikpeazu who will discuss lung cancer; Dr.  Ben Spieler whose focus is colorectal health; and Dr. Frank Penedo who will talk about cancer prevention tips.

“This is an outstanding opportunity to learn more about our health and to support an organization that raises research funds for all types of cancer affecting men, women and children,” said Elliot Booth, co-chair. But it will also be an incredible bonding experience, a day for guys to get together and hear one of the greatest players of all-time share his story.”

The celebrity keynote speaker will be Nat Moore, one of the most celebrated players in Dolphins history, who played in Super Bowls XVII and XIX. Establishing a positive reputation on and off the field led Moore to be named the Dolphins’ 1984 NFL “Man of the Year,” and earned him the 1985 Byron White Humanitarian Award for his service to his team, community, and country. He is now the team’s senior vice president of special projects & alumni relations since 2013. Moore oversees the Dolphins alumni activities and works closely with Dolphins Vice Chairman, President & CEO Tom Garfinkel on a variety of special projects.

About The Pap Corps:

Since its founding in 1952, The Pap Corps, a 501©(3), has donated more than $110 million to Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, including a historic $50 million pledge in 2016.
