GIFTS TO WEAR, SHARE & DECLARE

Launched Today on INDIEGOGO.com, a unique SCREW CANCER. collection of well-designed gift and lifestyle products in the Jewelry, Hydration, Tools and Clothing category. An International partnership between non-profit, The Ulman Cancer Fund for Young Adults and Grappleworks a social good enterprise.

Two very powerful words joined together - SCREW CANCER - empowers cancer survivors, their family and friends, to unite together, inspiring conversations and encouraging social interaction, so no one feels helpless or alone.

Three (x3) time Cancer survivor Doug Ulman* (former CEO of the LIVESTRONG Foundation and now CEO of Pelotonia) knows this helpless feeling all too well. Doug’s Cancer experiences in his early 20s, provided the personal motivation for him and his family to launch The Ulman Cancer Fund for Young Adults to directly address the unique concerns youth face. This includes communication challenges and feelings of isolation and loneliness.

Comments by Young Adults on social media.  
“SCREW CANCER.” It says something when you don’t know what to say”
“It starts a conversation and ends a difficult or awkward moment.”
“Ultimately, seeing my friend was challenging, but the fear of what to say was far worse.”

“The launch of the ‘SCREW CANCER.’ lifestyle brand on Indiegogo.com galvanizes the need for a unique cause marketing brand that connects with a young adult demographic with the funds from the sale of the ‘SCREW CANCER.’ products directly supporting programs like our 1:1 patient navigation program.” Brock Yesto, CEO, The Ulman Cancer Fund.

SCREW CANCER, is looking for your help to amplify its message through articles and stories with headlines like “Lost For Words – How to Start the Cancer Conversation”, “Cancer doesn’t care that it’s Christmas” and “Every Friday is Black, when you have Cancer”.
