Go Shopping!

Perhaps you love someone who's been diagnosed with cancer.
You don't know what to say or do to help her right now.
But you want her to know that while she fights, you've got her back.

Or perhaps that someone is you. And you're looking for a little something to make you smile. To give you that extra shot of moxie as you step out and face the world.

We'll be launching screwcancereatcake.com in 2010. But until then, check back often to see where you can find SCEC in your area, or contact us directly for our gear.

Ladies' Tees (Bella) - $20. 100% preshrunk cotton. Chocolate tee with lavendar logo in support of all cancers (shown above). Also available in white with chocolate logo (shown right). Run a bit small, so if you prefer a roomier fit, we suggest purchasing one size larger. Both color options also available for purchase in long sleeve - $22.

Ball caps in Breast Cancer Awarenesss Pink (Anvil) - $20

Large Tote (Anvil) - $15. 100% recycled cotton. Being a cancer patient can often feel like a full time job, with some treatments lasting all day. These totes are ideal for holding her magazines, books, music, and snacks to keep her entertained while she's getting well.

Cancer survivors, you are a breed of strong all your own. Perhaps the bravest thing you do: continue to live your lives and hope for a cure!

Fight Back!
