**‘Lads Night In’, the one-night poker event for friends and family at home, returns
on 21 October to raise funds for Prostate Cancer UK, with support from international
poker site PokerStars.**

The partners are inviting men and women to organise an evening in, play cards and
have fun while raising money.

Last year’s inaugural one-day event saw 5,400 people take part and a total of **
£114,000** being raised.

them. Supporters simply need to register for [Lads Night In](http://www.prostatecanceruk.org/ladsnightin)

James Beeby, Director of Fundraising at Prostate Cancer UK said:

> “We’re proud to be partnering with PokerStars for the second year running. Our
> campaign is all about reaching men and inspiring them to be aware of their health.
> Through working with PokerStars, and encouraging as many people as possible to
> host a ‘Lads Night In’, we can together help stop prostate cancer being a killer
> once and for all.”

Prostate Cancer UK has developed a [10-year strategy](http://strategy.prostatecanceruk.org)
in which, “through shifting the science over the next 10 years to focus on radical
improvements in diagnosis, treatment, prevention and support, we can make prostate
cancer a disease the next generation of men need not fear”.
