HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Performer and self-described "cancer cure activist" Marica Hase has announced a new “Fxxk Cancer” T-shirt collaboration with Marrion Apparel to benefit Japanese performer Sawaki.
“Marica spent the last two years educating the public on cancer on her YouTube channel, speaking at events and raising funds for research and a cure,” said a rep. “Last year, Marica designed a tee that Marrion Apparel manufactured to benefit legendary Japanese actor, Sawaki. And now Marica and Marrion Apparel are coming together again with a new design to raise more money for Sawaki.”
Hase has developed a close relationship with Sawaki; proceeds from the new T-shirt collaboration will assist with his living expenses and medical bills.
The design, titled “Kiss My Ass, Cancer,” noted the rep, “has cartoon drawings of Marica and her trusty sidekick Buusan with pink cancer ribbons and lip marks on their asses."
Hase said she is "100% cancer-free, but cancer is still a huge cause for me."
"I love designing T-shirts, and that Marrion is behind me to manufacture them. Sawaki is in the last stages of his cancer," she continued. "I want to help him and his family as much as possible, so the end of his life is comfortable, and his expenses and medical bills are covered. All the profits will go directly to him. The new shirts are very limited-edition, so make sure you get yours before they’re gone.”
The new limited-edition “Kiss My Ass, Cancer” T-shirt is available on Shop Marica. After purchasing the shirt, customers should email their size to tennsama@gmail.com.
Japanese and overseas fans can purchase all T-shirt designs on the Marrion site.
