Former Washington Redskins pro bowler Charles Mann visited Shady Grove Adventist Hospital last night to help promote prostate health for men.

The Huddle Up for Prostate Health event featured remarks by Mann and a panel discussion about prostate health. Attendees had the opportunity to have their photo taken with the two-time Redskins Super Bowl champion.

Autographed memorabilia was also raffled off to attendees.

According to a press release, "the event is part of a larger national campaign, 'Know Your Stats About Prostate Cancer,' launched by Intuitive Surgical as a joint effort between the American Urological Association (AUA) and the National Football League to encourage men 40 and older to talk to their physicians about prostate health."
