After a 15-year track record of advocating for patients and survivors, nonprofit organization Fuck Cancer will reach the 100-event milestone. In the Hollywood celebration, planned to support its early detection and prevention programs and featuring superstar DJs, the organization will not stray far from its roots \u2014 which all started with t-shirts.<\/p>\n
Both of its founders created organizations named similarly independent of each other. In 2015, they merged and kept organizing events, with the starting point of their fundraising being a shirt that sported the organization\u2019s name and motto.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s what everyone is thinking during that head-in-your-hands moment,\u201d says Fuck Cancer\u2019s website about the expletive in its name. \u201cIt\u2019s not sexual or violent. It\u2019s defeated and defiant. \u2018Fuck\u2019 is a visceral response to a life-altering disease.\u201d<\/p>\n
Now, years later and a community built along the way, Fuck Cancer will organize its 100th event Sept. 23. Right on Hollywood Boulevard, a star-studded lineup of Diplo, Dillon Francis and DJ Pauly D will take over Academy L.A. for a night that keeps those origins close to its core. Entry to the event comes in the form of a t-shirt that represents a direct donation and that attendees are encouraged to wear, \u201cturning the entire room into a sea of solidarity and purpose,\u201d says the organization\u2019s website.<\/p>\n
The event also marks the culmination of a Road to 100 campaign designed to reflect on the organization\u2019s goals so far, as well as where it hopes to create impact in the future. So far, Fuck Cancer has hosted 55,000 event goers, raising over $2 million for prevention and early detection initiatives. Its programs have delivered over 60,000 screenings \u2014 10,000 for breast cancer specifically \u2014 35,000 HPV vaccines, and wide-ranging education programs.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis milestone isn\u2019t just about honoring how far we\u2019ve come. It\u2019s about accelerating where we\u2019re going,\u201d said Fuck Cancer co-founder Julie Greenbaum via statement. \u201cEvery event we host helps fund prevention programs, expand access to lifesaving screenings and education, and build a community that reminds people they never have to face cancer alone.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
