10:00AM – 2:00PM
Great Hall, Massachusetts State House
Dear Colleagues and Friends,
As you may know, the Governor of Massachusetts announced the state of emergency in connection with the COVID-19 outbreak on Tuesday, March 10.
Consequently, the state authorities have just informed AdMeTech Foundation that public events at the State House – including Prostate Cancer Awareness Day on March 26th – are postponed until further notice.
While the risk of COVID-19 is deemed to be low in Massachusetts, it is our understanding that this postponement was requested out of abundance of caution.
Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience.
On behalf of the AdMeTech Foundation, I want to thank you in advance for your understanding and patience – and for your support of the 12th Annual Prostate Cancer Awareness Day.
We will remain in touch to let you know about any further developments.
