STUPID CANCER T-SHIRT-A-THON!

Stupid Cancer Happy Hour

The Stupid Cancer T-Shirt-A-Thon is a fun and easy way to engage your local community (colleges, high schools, churches, businesses) in the support, awareness and advocacy of the "stupid cancer" movement and drive some change into the mindset of peeps who don't believe folks in their 20s and 30s can and do actually get cancer!

FOUR STEP PLAN

1. Raise $5K.
2. We ship you 1,000 t-shirts.
3. Sell them for $20/ea.
4. Raise an additional $20K for i[2]y.
5. Pat self on back. (optional)

POINTERS AND TIPS

1) Whether one sponsor gives you $5K or ten sponsors give you $500, we will have their logos professionally printed on the back of all t-shirts in proud recognition of their support.
2) Take your time. Build a committee. Develop partnerships.
3) Encourage local business sponsors to promote in-store sales.
4) Communicate with local media about press and awareness.
5) Chat with other i[2]y'ers who have already done this and see if they have any tricks of the trade to offer in making this successful.
