About Saving Dads
Our Mission
At SavingDads.org, our mission is simple: help men understand HPV-related oropharyngeal cancer, catch it earlier, talk about it openly, and face it with confidence—not silence.
HPV-related throat cancer is rising sharply in men, yet awareness remains stubbornly low. Too many men—fathers, brothers, partners, coaches, neighbors—find themselves blindsided by a diagnosis they didn’t know they were at risk for. The stigma surrounding HPV only makes the journey harder. We’re here to change that.
We Inform
We translate medical information into clear, accessible language so men and their families can understand risk factors, symptoms, treatment options, and what to expect throughout the journey.
We Normalize the Conversation
HPV is common, and HPV-related cancer is treatable. Talking about it shouldn’t feel awkward or stigmatized. By pairing facts with honesty—and a touch of dad-level levity—we help make the subject easier to discuss and harder to ignore.
We Support
A diagnosis affects both the patient and the people who love them. We provide practical guidance, emotional support, and real stories so no one has to navigate this alone.
