Awareness that saves lives.
The Milana Family Foundation began as a mission to support causes close to home, and today it powers Man Cave Health, our fight against prostate cancer through free screenings and awareness.
About the Foundation
A family mission, rooted in community.
Since 2007, the Milana Family Foundation has brought people together to support causes close to our hearts. Over the years, we've been proud supporters of the Columbus Citizens Foundation, Smile Farms, Cohen Children's Medical Center, the Cooley's Anemia Foundation, and Stop Abuse.
In 2018, our mission became personal. After Tom's own prostate cancer diagnosis, the Foundation shifted its focus to men's health, and to making sure more men get screened before it's too late.

Our Cause
A personal diagnosis changed everything.
In November 2015, Thomas Milana, Jr. received an alarming blood test result during a routine doctor visit: it revealed an elevated PSA, or prostate-specific antigen. Over the following three months, further testing confirmed the diagnosis: prostate cancer.
In April 2016, Tom had successful robotic surgery. Today, he has been cancer-free for ten years.
That experience showed our family how difficult living with a cancer diagnosis can be, and how hard it can be for men to find trusted, accessible health information and support. Men rarely talk about their medical conditions, and that is something we are working hard to change.
In 2018, the Foundation shifted its focus to men's health, championing early detection of prostate cancer through free PSA screenings, community education, and the expansion of Man Cave Health and our mobile Van Caves.
Man Cave Health
A comfortable space for men's health.
We created Man Cave Health to provide men with a comfortable environment for education and testing for prostate cancer. Our first "Man Cave" opened its doors at Mount Sinai Hospital's Department of Urology, followed by a second Man Cave at UCI Health. Both are designed to make men feel at ease discussing sensitive health topics, because we know that heightened awareness leads to better outcomes.
We also bring screenings directly to the community through our mobile Van Caves, pictured here, which travel to workplaces, community events, and neighborhoods across New York, Massachusetts, Michigan, and California to offer free PSA testing right where men are. No appointment needed.
Man Cave Health also offers free virtual support groups that meet four times each month for men navigating a prostate cancer diagnosis: a safe space to ask questions, share experiences, and connect with others who understand.
