More about iHope 

and the ACS Relay For Life

Open to any graphic design artist 

(but especially CafePress shopkeepers)

Looking for fresh new art for the iHope cancer fundraiser.

You can use the template if you wish, and just add words. You don't have to be a fabulous artist to create a great message. Or you can build from scratch. The only requirement is that your design includes a cancer awareness ribbon, and is at least 2000 pixels wide or tall.

You don't have to have a CafePress shop. But if you want one, a free basic shop is very quick and easy to create!

At the iHope Cancer Fundraiser, every cent in profit is donated directly to American Cancer Society by CafePress. Do NOT use American Cancer Society, Relay For Life, or their respective logos in your art ... make it original!

ELISE wins!

If you're hosting your design at your own CafePress shop:

I will include a link to your shop on this lens, with iHope's PID (8306439) so that iHope Shop (ACS) will benefit from 5% of your sales

You set the amount of money per item sold that you will personally donate to ACS or another non-profit of your choice

You have control over which products to offer, and the ability to move, change or remove the design at any time

AMAZING BOOK 

Because everyone -- especially a cancer patient -- needs more humor in their life.

Cancer on $5 a Day* *(chemo not included): How Humor Got Me Through the Toughest Journey of My Life

Amazon Price: $18.70 (as of 12/09/2009)Buy Now

Stand-up comedian Robert Schimmel's edgy, hilarious, and poignant musings on his battle with cancer. Diagnosed with Stage III non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, he was told he would have to undergo chemotherapy immediately. But Schimmel never lost his sense of humor, his knife-like edge, and most of all, his passion to entertain. Alternately laugh-out-loud funny and profound, Cancer on Five Dollars a Day is an honest account of how one man's face-off with a deadly disease helped him better understand himself. (Amazon)

Get started

you do not claim to have created it, although any derivative work (original template accounts for no more than 10% of your final art) that you make is yours to do with as you please

you are ASKED, but not required, to provide a link back to the iHope Cancer Fundraiser (cafepress.com/ihope) with or without your own CafePress PID
