A day of golf, dinner and free onsite PSA screening — the foundation's signature gathering, returning to Fresh Meadow Country Club.
Our Family Foundation
In 2018 The Milana Family Foundation shifted their mission to a cause that is close to our hearts.
In November 2015, Thomas Milana, Jr. received an alarming blood test result during a routine doctor visit; it revealed that Tom had a high PSA, or prostate-specific antigen. Over the course of the next three months, Tom underwent a series of tests that ultimately revealed he had prostate cancer. In April 2016 Tom had successful robotic surgery, and today he remains 100% cancer-free.

Why the foundation built a man cave inside the hospital.
It started with a blunt observation: men often take better care of their cars than their bodies. Man Cave Health was built to change that — using the one setting where men already feel at home.
- 01
Awareness
Meet men where they already are — a course, a locker room, a ballgame.
- 02
Comfortable spaces
A sports-themed room inside the hospital, so the visit feels less clinical.
- 03
Screening
A simple PSA blood test, offered free at foundation events.
- 04
Education
Plain-language answers, and staff who field the awkward questions.
- 05
Better outcomes
Support toward treatment, earlier — the difference the family lived.
The foundation raises the funds and the awareness. Man Cave Health builds the spaces.
Inside Man Cave HealthOur Impact
Accountability over a good-looking number.
We publish figures we can attribute — and mark everything else as pending rather than estimate it. Here is where the work stands today.

Some figures — cumulative funds raised, total men screened — are still being reconciled and confirmed with our partners. Rather than show an estimate, we hold them until they can be verified. See our financial transparency.
Areas of Focus
Six ways the work shows up.
01
Men's Health Awareness
Meeting men where they already are — a golf course, a locker room, a ballgame — and making it normal to talk about a PSA number.
02Early Detection
Free PSA screening at foundation events, backed by a prescribing physician and an accredited laboratory. Early detection is the difference the family lived.
03Comfortable Care Environments
Man Cave Health builds sports-themed spaces inside hospitals so a clinical visit feels less clinical — and men actually keep the appointment.
04Community Education
Plain-language resources and events that help men understand their risk and their options, without the jargon.
05Family Support
Prostate cancer is a family experience. We support the partners, children and caregivers who go through it alongside the patient.
06Fundraising Experiences
Events people want to attend — the golf outing, dinners, sweepstakes — designed as genuine gatherings, not transactions.
