Leadership Forged Through Service, Survival, and Hope
DeFeat Cancer® by ACCCOLPH®
Veteran. Leader. Survivor. Advocate.
Arthur Bendolph Jr. is a decorated Gulf War veteran, prostate cancer survivor, nonprofit founder, and nationally recognized men’s health advocate. He founded ACCCOLPH Inc. and the DeFeat Cancer® initiative to advance prostate cancer awareness, education, early detection, and survivor support, particularly among veterans, and underserved communities.
Arthur’s mission is deeply personal. His grandfather, father, and uncle lost their lives to prostate cancer. After receiving his own diagnosis during the COVID-19 pandemic, he encouraged his brothers and other male relatives to get tested. When two of his brothers were also diagnosed, Arthur resolved to help other families begin these life-saving conversations earlier.
Following treatment at the UF Health Proton Therapy Institute, Arthur turned survivorship into service. Through DeFeat Cancer®, he leads educational outreach, community awareness, survivor storytelling, and support initiatives that encourage men to know their family history, understand their risks, and speak with healthcare professionals about screening.
During his distinguished United States Air Force career, Arthur received numerous military honors. He later established the City of Jacksonville Leadership Training Academy, served as a human resources director at an HBCU, and earned an MBA.
His message is direct: Know your risk. Know your family history. Know your PSA. Speak up. Get checked.
