Friends of Cancer Patients: Beach Towel

Friends_of_Cancer_Patients

Friends of Cancer Patients asked them to raise awareness about the risks of over-exposure to the sun, which causes skin cancer killing 20 people daily. They came up with an ambient idea to highlight this fact: 300 beach towels, shaped like coffins, were displayed around the beach and distributed among the public. The initial reaction of the beach goers was shock, followed by an instant appreciation of the gesture; many of them even asking for free sunscreen.

It’s not that dissimilar to this one, done at Bondi Beach in Sydney about a month ago. They laid 1,700 towels out. Generated a ridiculous amount of free media coverage!

Cancer has been the major cause of death now. We love to go to the beach and realax but knowing the negative side is also handy sometimes.
