The Max Gardner Award is awarded to an individual member of the Network who has made an outstanding and significant contribution to reducing the impact of prostate cancer on Australian men, their partners, and families.

It is PCFA’s most prestige award and is named in honour of Max Gardner, who worked tirelessly to raise the level of community awareness about prostate cancer, to promote research into this disease and to support men and women dealing with prostate cancer. Max left an incredible legacy and PCFA is honoured to continue it with this award.
