Since our conversation, Charlie Wilson has been selected to receive the Rev. Charles Williams Award for his humanitarian accomplishments for prostate cancer. "Uncle Charlie" will receive this honor at the Indiana Black Expo on July 17, 2009. In addition, the Prostate Cancer Foundation recently created the "Charlie Wilson Creativity Award," for advanced prostate cancer research. These one-year awards amount to $1.0 million in funds, all of which has been designated to support innovative ideas that have the potential to achieve breakthroughs for the detection and treatment of prostate cancer.

"Uncle Charlie" is currently touring across America — "performing" and "informing." Be sure to check out a few of his special appearances at the Steve Harvey Hoodie Awards, Essence Music Festival, Macy's Music Festival, and Taste of Chicago.
