Blame Drew's Cancer for this Blog

CityPaper letters to the Editor

Can we all agree that Drew’s cancer blows?

I blame Drew’s cancer for the fears that my 6-year-old has now — that no child should ever have [Naked City, “The Culprit,” Morgan Davis, July 23, 2009]. She has been cancer-free for 19 months. So take that, Drew’s cancer.

I blame Drew’s cancer for turning my life into a ball of confusion with my husband’s cancer. I also blame Drew for giving me the courage to be supportive and give hope. Cancer can kiss Drew’s ass!

#BlameDrewsCancer in the news

What potential sponsors ask us the most is “Who is talking about this?”

This being #BlameDrewsCancer…wish they’d just say it ;)

It’s understandable.  Money is tight these days, it’s not easy to donate and sponsor and put your name to something.

For those of us asking “Who is talking about this?”, here’s a sampling.  But don’t just read…contact the folks who wrote about what we’re doing to get how they feel about it.

Then please seriously consider sponsoring us.

Blaming Takes Over Philly

Places I’ve met people who blame cancer this week:

• In a business meeting in Center City
• On a SEPTA bus in South Philly, reading the City Paper article
• In an elevator, wearing a LiveStrong wrist band

You can help bring #blamedrewscancer to the untwittering masses too! If you see someone wearing a LiveStrong band or reading City Paper, team up with them to blame cancer live - even if they’re a stranger.

We can beat cancer if everyone beats up on it. (@krisis)

Bowl a Strike Against Cancer

Hot off the presses, news from our strikes & spares sponsor for the 7/30 bowling night - Level Three Media.

Level Three Media is proud to be supporting Blame Drew’s Cancer and the LIVESTRONG Foundation during the “Blame Drew’s Cancer” bowling event at Lucky Strike Lanes & Lounge on Thursday, July 30th from 7pm-10pm. For every strike and spare made during the event, Level Three Media will make a donation in the amount of $20.00* and $10.00* respectively to the LIVESTRONG Foundation on behalf of Blame Drew’s Cancer. Level Three Media proudly supports the efforts of Drew and the entire Blame Drew’s Cancer team as they strive to raise awareness about cancer and fight to find a cure.

*Donation will be capped at $1250

Level Three, you rock! Hopefully we can find enough wicked bowlers to come out to Lucky Strike Lanes on 7/30 to help us reach the $1250 cap - it’s a whopping 62 strikes and a spare! (@krisis)
