Glamming the Warrior expands free men’s health screenings in Jersey City

Glamming the Warrior will host its annual Life Screening event on June 20 in Jersey City, offering free prostate and colon cancer screenings, food, music and activities to men from the tri-state area. The nonprofit is opening the event to both uninsured and insured men as it tries to remove barriers to early detection and connect participants with broader support services.

Why it matters: - Prostate and colorectal cancers remain among the most common cancers affecting men in the United States. - Early detection can significantly improve survival rates. - The event is designed to remove common barriers such as cost, fear, lack of access and misinformation. - Glamming The Warrior is opening the screenings to both uninsured and insured men from the tri-state area.

What happened: - Glamming The Warrior announced the return of its annual men’s health initiative, Life Screening, for Saturday, June 20, 2026, with a rain date of June 27. - The event will run from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at Lincoln Park in Jersey City, New Jersey. - The nonprofit is offering free prostate and colon cancer screenings for men ages 45 and older. - Men who do not meet the age requirement but have a family history of cancer are encouraged to register. - The event also includes free food, music, activities and vendor experiences.

The details: - Last year’s event screened 37 men. - One life was saved through early detection, according to the organization. - This year’s event includes partners such as Hoboken Family Planning, RWJ Jersey City Medical Center, Exact Science, Brorevement, JC Free Public Library and Chadd Org. - Rochelle R.E. Magno, president and founder of Glamming The Warrior, said the partnerships help the organization meet men where they are through clinical care, mental health support and financial guidance. - Magno said Life Screening is intended to normalize men taking control of their health and understanding that support exists in many forms. - The event combines medical screenings with emotional and educational support in a setting meant to feel safe and relatable.

Between the lines: - The expanded eligibility suggests the nonprofit is trying to reach a broader slice of the local community, not just men without insurance. - The mix of health, grief, mental health and lifestyle support reflects a wider public-health approach than a standard screening clinic. - The sponsorship pitch, including $1,000 to sponsor 10 men, shows the event is also structured as a community fundraising effort.

What’s next: - Community members, organizations and corporate partners are being invited to support the event through sponsorships. - Sponsors can receive visibility on social media platforms and on-site activations. - Men interested in participating can register for the June 20 event or the rain date if needed. - The nonprofit is also directing people to its social channels and website for more information: Instagram and the organization’s website.

The bottom line: - Glamming The Warrior is using a free community event to push more men toward early cancer detection while pairing screenings with broader support and outreach.
