Everyman Campaign
Encyclopedia
The Everyman Campaign is a campaign that was launched in the UK by The Institute of Cancer Research
in 1997. It seeks to raise awareness of testicular
and prostate
cancer
and to raise funds to research treatments.
Everyman runs a variety of campaigns, initiatives and adverts to raise awareness of male cancer and receives funding support from Tacheback
, a UK charitable event where each September, thousands of men grow a sponsored mustache for that month to raise money for the Everyman's research.
In July 2009, the international pizza
delivery company, Papa John's, changed their official sponsor from Barnardo's
to the Everyman campaign and even has its own pizza called the Everyman on its menu, where for every pizza sold, Papa John's gives 50p to the charity.
