A Breast Cancer Awareness Project Unlike Any Other
New York, NY, March 8, 2010—Try to imagine a world in which the only boobs…are man boobs. That’s what three interns at an ad agency in TriBeCa did. This is the message of Man Cans 2011, a unique breast cancer awareness project whose mission is to get 20-something males involved with the breast health of the woman in their life and to encourage her to begin performing a monthly self-exam.
The calendar shows a year’s worth of iconic boob moments in which men of all shapes and sizes are the models and includes funny scenarios such as flashing at Mardi Gras and a whipped cream bikini—all to drive the message: Guys, if you don’t get involved, these man boobs could be the only boobs left.
The team has partnered with existing breast cancer awareness organization Save the ta-tas®( http://www.savethetatas.com/ ), who similarly shares the perspective that humor is an effective way to tackle breast cancer. All of the proceeds from calendar sales and donations will be donated to Save the ta-tas® to go towards cancer research.
