Funny man Will Ferrell just can’t help but make us laugh. This time he is doing it to benefit charity…in just about the oddest way possible. Right in time for the summer sun, Will Ferrell has teamed up with “Cancer for College” to sell a new line of sunscreen. Seriously.
When you lather up with this celebrity sunscreen you will be laughing your head off at the ridiculous bottles with names like “Sexy Hot Tan,” “Sunstroke,” and “Forbidden Fruit.” You’ll also be protecting your skin AND benefiting the organization that helps cancer survivors pay for college. Cancer treatment can be expensive and exhausting and the organization provides scholarships to give patients hope for the future.
Will isn't just putting his face on the bottle--he is super involved with the organization. His athletic pose for “Sunstroke” advertises his upcoming work with the charity--in September he will be hosting the “Cancer for College Golf Classic.” We have no explanation for the other designs…
So stop baking in the sun and put on some sunscreen!! Seriously—these sunscreen bottles may be funny, but skin cancer is no joke. Melanoma—the most common type of skin cancer—is the fastest growing cancer in the U.S. You can help the cause by spreading the word. Host a hat day at your school to teach people about protecting themselves against skin cancer.
Tell us what you think about Will’s wacky ways of giving back—comment below!
