Blue Tie Guys raise awareness of prostate cancer - El Paso Inc.

The Blue Tie Guys campaign to raise awareness of prostate cancer culminated Dec. 12 with the crowning of “The Top Knot” at an event sponsored by Sam Shallenberger at Morrison Supply, 1345 Geronimo.

Every type of cancer has a ribbon color associated with it, and prostate cancer is represented with a light blue ribbon. During the month of November, 16 El Pasoans wore blue ties or blue-tie-guy t-shirts to raise awareness and financial support for prostate cancer.

Sam Shallenberger was named The Top Knot for raising the most money during the campaign. Donations are still coming in, and the Rio Grande Cancer Foundation hasn’t released the final tally yet.

The Blue Tie Guys were: Allan Goldfarb, Bob Snow, Christian Pistella, David Candelaria, Eduardo Gutierrez, Gilberto Gonzalez, Joseph Austin, Ken Slavin, Lance Van Deman, Ray Adauto, Ric Lara, Riccardo Barraza, Ruben Schaeffer, Sam Shallenberger, Ted Escobedo and Victor Mascorro Jr.
