we are proud to be the leading testicular cancer organization since 2009
The Testicular Cancer Awareness Foundation is committed to raising awareness and educating the public about the most common cancer in men ages 15-44, while providing lifesaving support to patients, survivors, and caregivers with compassion and care.
Awareness. Support. Survivorship.
Testicular Cancer Awareness Foundation strives to encourage early detection through the practice of monthly self-exams and to remove the stigma and taboo associated with testicular cancer. Our mission is to help educate the public about testicular cancer, treatments, financial assistance, social support, survivorship and fundraising opportunities through our many programs.
Inspiration Behind Testicular Cancer Awareness Foundation
October 2007, Jordan Jones was diagnosed with an aggressive form of testicular cancer (stage 4, medical reference 3c) at the early age of 13. It was during his treatment that it became apparent there was a lack of education and support for this disease.
Testicular Cancer Awareness Foundation was formed October 2009. We are a nonprofit, compassionately dedicated to improving the lives of those affected by testicular cancer, educating others about the importance of awareness and early detection, and continuing to save lives.

Osvaldo walks through the shock of hearing “you have cancer,” undergoing an orchiectomy, and waking up to learn that the his testicle had been completely removed. He candidly describes the emotional reality of losing a testicle, the confusion around what doctors were removing, and the relief of finally being free from the constant pain after surgery. His story is an important reminder that testicular cancer symptoms can include a lump, swelling, heaviness, and persistent back pain — and that early detection can save your life.
