Anti-Favre Campaign Helps Childhood Cancer

The makers of www.JudasFavre.com have an unexpected problem.  Success.   “Who thought our Judas Favre t-shirts would be a national phenomenon?” says co-owner Jason Strobel.  “We have orders for over 1,500 shirts worldwide in less than 7 days since he signed.  And orders keep coming in.  Over 50,000 people have visited our website.”   The jersey style t-shirts have a 4 on the front and JUDAS in the place of FAVRE on the back.  According to their website they are available in green and gold and purple and yellow.

There are no winners in the Favre saga for Packer fans it seems.  The sides are divided between those who felt Favre was kicked out of town and those who feel he is a traitor for leaving.   With the help of www.JudasFavre.com and their wildly popular t-shirts the two founders have found a winner.  “Starting today with every shirt order we are going to donate 10% of the proceeds of the shirt to fight childhood cancer.  It’s a tough situation for Packer fans but now we can help a great cause!” states Jason.

The funds will go to find a cure for Pediatric Low Grade Astrocytoma or “PLGA,” a type of childhood cancer.  Currently, there is no cure for this tumor and the treatments that do exist are outdated, toxic, and ultimately torturous to the thousands of kids affected.  Brain tumors are the #1 cause of cancer death in children, and the #2 overall cause of childhood death behind accidents. PLGA’s are the most common type of childhood brain tumor, yet sadly, funding and research for better treatments and an eventual cure lag dramatically behind other cancers. For more information or to donate directly go to www.fightplga.org or to support it locally go to www.teamhailey.org.  Teamhailey.org was established by the Meltz family in the Fox Valley area (and huge Packer Fans) that have been working to find a cure for their four year old daughter.

You can order the shirts and visit their daily blog posts at www.judasfavre.com.  There are also retail locations that are starting to stock the product as well.  Check the website as to where, they are adding retailers daily.  Joel Fleischman, the other co-founder sums it up, “We hate the Vikings, but we really hate childhood cancer.”

Help us find a cure.  Goal was set at $1,000, but let’s not stop there.  Let’s see if we can beat it.
