FRAT Warning:
About Us: I am the Co-Founder of the Testicular Cancer Research Foundation. Our main purpose in creating this company is to make testicular cancer awareness more mainstream the same way all of the "PINK" items did for breast cancer awareness. We have designed several t-shirts, (with several more in the works) that are light-hearted and humorous and designed to create an open dialogue about testicular cancer. Testicular cancer has the highest survivor rate at over 90%. The key to this statistic is that the cancer is caught early. With between 7500-8500 new positive diagnosis's this year, it affects mostly Caucasians ages 18-34. The more I have become involved in this cause the more I realize how many people it can affect.
We actually have two websites: TesticularCancerResearchFoundation.org is the serious site dedicated to raising awareness and how to self-test, etc. Secondly, we started http://www.BallCancerSucks.com to raise money for testicular cancer research. We are donating 100% of proceeds to the Cancer Research Center at Washington University in St. Louis. The reason we selected this facility is because we can earmark our donation for testicular cancer research specifically. We can (and will) do an annual audit of our donations to ensure they are properly utilized.
We are genuinely trying to raise awareness so men feel comfortable talking about testicular cancer. If you were raised in a house like myself, these topics were all taboo, and nothing of the sort was discussed. Why? Makes zero sense to me, there is nothing embarrassing about talking to your son about checking himself regularly for testicular cancer, because it is serious. (Just FYI: In the future we are planning a "Dodge Ball-Cancer Tournament" for our area with all of the proceeds going to a family in the community that has been affected by testicular cancer.)
What can you do to help?
I am not asking for you to buy a shirt or any of our items, but to pass along the site(s) so that it could possible help one man save his balls. It would be very easy and supportive for you to "like" our facebook page:
