Health - Can-Sir to launch "5c for cancer, Balls n Hooters" campaign

Ismail–Ian Fife - Founder and CEO of Can-Sir was Instudio to speak about their latest campaign "5c for cancer, Balls n Hooters". The campaign focuses mainly on the “shy cancers” such as Prostate, Testicular and Colorectal cancer as they are said to the number one forms of cancer affecting young and older men. Can-Sir together with its partners People Living With Cancer (PLWC) and Cancer Buddies will be running the 5c for Cancer; Balls n Hooters Cancer Education from July to August 2013. The education campaign endorsed by the Western Cape Department of Health will involve visiting 30 High schools and Tertiary institutions across the Cape Peninsula, Cape West Coast and Boland to give talks, presentations and demonstrations in raising awareness of preventable cancers such as Testicular, Cervical and Breast Cancer, and encourage early detection and treatment of this disease amongst young adults and teenagers. In order to make the campaign fun organizers are appealing to all communities, students, parents, teachers and staff to collect five cent (5c) coins and hand them in on the day of their visit or communities can get in touch with them for collection. The school which raises the most 5c coins will receive a donation from us to the value of R2000.
