Living in Shade

Recently funnyman extraordinaire Will Ferrell debuted a new line of sunscreens with 100% of the proceeds going to charity. The sunscreens are available in 3 different styles, sexy hot tan, sun stroke, and forbidden fruit. All of the proceeds from their sales go directly to Cancer for College which provides college scholarships to former cancer patients.

Will Ferrell, former star of Saturday Night Live and star of many films including Anchorman, Old School, and Wedding Crashers, knows how to use his fame to help a good cause. Of course Ferrell injects his own special brand of humor into the product, as evidenced by the bottle designs, but the sunscreen is also a highly effective SPF 30.

• The “Sexy Hot Tan” line plays up Will’s propensity to appear in public less than clothed.
• The “Forbidden Fruit” line highlights Will’s artistic side
• “Sun Stroke” caters to the ever-growing category of golfing bodybuilders

The best thing about the sunscreen though, of course, is where the profits go.

Cancer for College was formed in 1993 by two time cancer survivor and double amputee Craig Pollard. Pollard attended the University of Southern California where he was a fraternity brother of Will Ferrell’s. Ferrell has been a supporter of the cause basically since its inception, but this is his biggest step into using his celebrity to further the cause.

“Cancer for College is such a pure charity,” said Will Ferrell. “The work that Craig and Cancer for College has done helping kids who have had cancer go to college is so noble. I’m proud to
help them any way I can and if that means adding my face to a line of sunscreen products, I’m all for it.”

The sunscreen line has been fairly successful so far having sold over 10,000 bottles in just two months. Its available directly from the Cancer for College website as well as select retailers such as Amazon.com.

What’s amazing about this sunscreen is that it’s the only one that works for years after you apply it. About 4 years to be exact, as your money will be paying all expense for a cancer survivor to attend a university. The money you spend on a great product will enable these worthy students to receive the education they dreamed of while they battled cancer.

So get on out there and buy some Will Ferrell sunscreen. You’ll be protecting yourself from skin cancer and helping send people to college. It’s a can’t lose everybody wins partnership. You know that empty bottle will be a great keepsake as well.
