Hi there. My name is John Lorenz. I started Protect the Package (PTP) in 2008 after years of planning some unique charity events in honor of some very close friend's fathers. The excitement and passion I had planning these events led me to wanting to do something that could eventually become bigger and continuous. A late night dinner date with my wife, coupled with a brain that doesn't rest, led to the idea behind PROTECT THE PACKAGE.

​

Protect the Package was started to help increase the stories of triumph over tragedy in the world's fight against cancer. While the logo and slogans may catch your attention in a humorous way, the meaning behind the message could not be more serious. There are uncountable forms of cancer found in both men and women. At the same time, certain cancers are exclusive to each gender. Protect the Package, as you may have guessed, is a company directed at the male population and the cancers unique to us. The toughest of men cannot out muscle or out smart the hidden workings of cancer. What we can and have to do is proactively protect ourselves.
