Squiggly Apparel: For the Boys

The boys I'm referring to might not be typical boys, but this is a very important organization that I am highlighting today.  Promoting awareness for testicular cancer, Squiggly Apparel serves as a fun apparel company that supports this far-too-common form of cancer.  Their products encourage conversation about the topic and saves lives in the long run.

Squiggly Apparel was created in Delray Beach, Florida in 2012.  This apparel company is evolving into a well-known for-cause company concerned with testicular cancer.  Squiggly Apparel noticed that there were many organizations all over the world supporting other types of cancer, but they noticed a lack in organizations that focused solely on raising money in support of those affected by testicular cancer.  They 'swam' into the market to help 'support the boys.'
A big amount of every apparel purchase goes directly towards testicular cancer research.  This apparel company has effectively been gaining support and awareness of testicular cancer and been a true conversation starter.  Who would have known that a little purple 'swimmer' logo would sell so well.  You can buy socks, shirts, a tie and much more.  They have mens and womens apparel as well as accessories.  The most expensive item on the web site is the ladies polo at $27.  Not too shabby.

The main point is that this is a great cause that is often thought of as 'taboo' in society.  Testicular cancer is the most common cancer among men ages 15 to 35.  Also, testicular cancer affects many types of men.  Testicular cancer is relatively rare (it was projected that about 7,600 cases would happen in 2012.)  However, if you add it up, that's still quite a bit of cases a year.  The instances of testicular cancer have nearly doubled in the past 40 years.  Check out the Squiggly Apparel web site and check out their clothing as well as the information they have about testicular cancer.  It could save your life!
