About UsBlackout PCa is a nonprofit organization that has a goal to raise awareness around prostate cancer in the Black communities by assisting patients and families in need. Hence the name of the organization BLACK OUT—the goal being to suppress, extinguish or redact prostate cancer in the Black community. This organization was founded in July 2023 by twin sisters Audra DeVaughn, CRNP and Asia Gray, health insurance professional/commercial enrollment expert, from Pittsburgh, PA. The organization was created in support of their father, James Bradshaw, who had been battling metastatic prostate cancer since 2021, but courageously, his fight came to an end in April 2024.
