ProstAware and Blue Ties were founded by Dr. Scott Miller of Georgia Urology, who serves as President of the organization. ProstAware uses music, technology, and sports to start a conversation with Atlanta men about their prostate cancer risk.

Lenz president Richard Lenz said, “Dr. Miller and ProstAware embody so much that we should all strive to emulate: passion, generosity, and commitment to community. Lenz is honored to play a role in supporting his vision and the Blue Ties event.”

Lenz has supported Blue Ties and ProstAware for years with marketing, public relations, social media, and web site support. Fellow event sponsors include Toyota, Northside Hospital, The Coca-Cola Company, Intuitive Surgical, and Georgia Urology.
