Teams up with USA Rugby and the Australian Rugby Union for #pass4prostate
Originally published on PRNLive.com
Astellas Pharma has teamed up with USA Rugby and the Australian Rugby Union on a new social media campaign to raise awareness of prostate cancer.
The firm's #pass4prostate campaign, which also aims to raise funds for research into the disease, will run until the end of September, which is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month.
Social media users are encouraged to record a video of themselves catching an inanimate object, mentioning why prostate cancer awareness is important to them, and then passing that object, rugby-style, to a friend or family member.
They have also been asked to explain why it is important 'not to drop the ball' when it comes to awareness.

Example videos from top professional rugby players, information on how to register to win rugby-themed prizes and further details can be found at www.pass4prostate.org.
