Review of 2011...
Rock 102 Morning Hosts, Shack & Watson kicked off the first annual Rock 102s Caged for the Cure for prostate cancer on Thursday, May 12th, 2011 at 6:00 a.m. and broadcasted a grueling 36 hours straight, live from The Centre Mall. With only the bare necessities, Shack & Watson were locked in a cage, asking listeners to donate money to support St. Pauls Urology Centre of Health. The poor souls were not released until a minimum of $50,000.00 was raised for prostate health.
At 6:00 p.m. on Friday, May 13th, Shack & Watson wrapped up Rock 102s Caged for the Cure radio marathon by raising $62,310.00 to which all proceeds will benefit the St. Pauls Hospital Leslie & Irene Dubé Urology Centre of Health for Prostate Disease.

The Urology Centre of Health at St. Paul's Hospital is being established to provide the best resources along with advanced detection and less invasive treatment options available for those suffering from prostate and other urological diseases.
