Our History
Founded in early 2009 as Single Jingles, the Testicular Cancer Foundation began with a simple but powerful mission: to save lives through education and early detection.
At TCF, we come to work every day because we want to save lives. We are a team of testicular cancer survivors, caregivers, and advocates passionate about increasing education and awareness about the most common cancer in males ages 15-35.
Being the only full-time staffed testicular cancer group and leading provider of education materials in the country, our mission (and obligation) is to ensure every male knows the warning signs of the disease and how to perform a testicular self-exam to protect their health and ensure long-term cancer survivorship.
