STATELINE, Nev. — The Prostate Education Project (PEP), the free English-and-Spanish prostate health education resource founded by two-time prostate cancer survivor Michael Bovarnick, will join Oncology Nevada and Urology Nevada at the Tahoe Knight Monsters Cancer Awareness Night on Saturday, December 19, 2026, at the Tahoe Blue Event Center in Stateline. Puck drop is at 7:00 p.m. Twenty percent of proceeds from tickets purchased through the event’s dedicated link go to the Urology Nevada Cancer Foundation.

Bovarnick, 83, launched PEP in March 2026 after surviving prostate cancer twice. His goal is simple: make sure men and the people who love them know what questions to ask before, during and after a diagnosis. The site’s education library is available in a medically accepted, dialect-neutral Spanish translation, so Spanish-speaking families across Northern Nevada and beyond can get the same information in their own language.
“I learned the hard way that the conversation you don’t have with your doctor is the one that hurts you,” said Bovarnick. “If one man in that arena goes home and books a screening, or one wife or daughter pushes her dad to ask a better question, that’s a win bigger than anything on the scoreboard.“
Since its March 2026 launch, PEP’s website has grown to more than 1,000 visitors a month without any paid advertising. Bovarnick was the featured speaker at the Urology Nevada 5K, addressing roughly 300 attendees and distributing 200 bilingual tri-fold guides, and he has shared his story as a guest on 15+ podcasts. A 23-year prostate cancer survivor who has been married for 62 years, he launched the mission in his 80s.
At Cancer Awareness Night, fans can learn about PEP’s free resources, pick up bilingual educational materials, and meet Bovarnick in person. The game is part of the Knight Monsters’ Cancer Awareness Weekend, when the team wears specialty jerseys to honor survivors, remember loved ones and support those currently fighting cancer.
We’re grateful to the Tahoe Knight Monsters for bringing our community together to celebrate survivorship and remind fans how important it is to make their health a priority.” Angela Fontana, for Urology/Oncology NV
