Glitter Beer To Raise $25k To Fight Colorectal Cancer

OG Sour Me Unicorn Farts releases May 2021 scaled | Mezcalum

Colorectal cancer is crappy. As the nation’s second-deadliest form of cancer, it kills thousands every year. This March, adults can enjoy a limited-edition glittery beer that can’t be purchased with money, but can only be accessed with their own poop during National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month.

The unusual ask is part of the clever ‘Give a Crap Challenge’ hatched by the Colon Cancer Foundation, Squatty Potty and DuClaw Brewing Company with help from Everlywell, CraftShack and Diablo Doughnuts to help the Colon Cancer Foundation reach their goal of providing 10,000 colorectal cancer screenings to underserved communities in 2021.

As a result of signing up, participants will also help to raise awareness for the 75 million people in the U.S. who are 45+ and should be regularly tested for colorectal cancer (and their loved ones who can help to encourage “the talk”).

OG Sour Me Unicorn Farts 1 | Mezcalum

They’re encouraging people like you to get screened for colorectal cancer, the 2nd most deadly cancer for adults in the U.S., from the comfort of your own home (or, give the test to a loved one 45+). And, giving you access to this exclusive Unicorn Farts variant (the only one ever made!) made with graham cracker in the process.

For an $85 contribution to Colon Cancer Foundation on this site, you will receive a 6pack of this exclusive Fruity Pebbles-flavored glitter beer called Sour Me Unicorn Farts made by DuClaw, an Everlywell colorectal cancer screening, and a Squatty Potty.

Incidence rates for colorectal cancer are trending younger: 20-29 is the fastest growing segment. The Black community is disproportionately affected, with 20% higher than average incidence rates and 40% higher death rates than other racial groups. Yet it’s also the most curable when caught early. We just saw Baltimore Oriole, Trey Mancini, 29, step back onto the field this season after spending the last year fighting CRC.

To give a crap, visit this site and click the blue button. This effort helps to support Colon Cancer Foundation’s effort to provide 10,000 colorectal cancer screenings to underserved individuals, and helps us support them in reaching their goal of raising $25,500 to do it.
