Baltimore, Maryland – November 1, 2005 – After a successful summer on the Vans Warped Tour, the Shirts for a Cure Project (SFAC) is proud to announce the addition of 25 new bands, now giving the project a grand total of 76 bands who have teamed up to join in the fight against breast cancer. Against Me!, Anti-Flag, Armor For Sleep, Hawthorne Heights, Lifetime and The Starting Line are just a few of the new additions joining the roster of bands who have volunteered their time and energy to this great cause.
"I am very excited to see so many bands getting involved with Shirts for a Cure. It's great to see the punk community really rally around what we are trying to accomplish and help keep the original spirit of punk alive," says SSE chairman Mark Beemer. "With the help of this community, in just over a year we have been able to raise more money then we could have ever imagined and inject a significant portion of these funds into clinics that will help underprivileged women directly."
This outpour of new bands has even attracted clothing companies involvement. Atticus Clothing has partnered with SFAC to help fight this killer disease and to bring a wider audience to the project. The partnership, a first for Atticus, has produced a unique shirt that will be available exclusively online at www.shirtsforacure.com.
The Shirts for a Cure Project features limited edition t-shirts from various bands to aide The Syrentha Savio Endowment (SSE) in its efforts to provide funding for chemotherapy and other medication for underprivileged women who cannot afford the growing expense of fighting breast cancer. Since it's inception in 2002, SSE has already raised more then $250,000 and awarded grants totaling more then $100,000 to organizations in Washington D.C., Philadelphia and Los Angeles.
