Men’s Organization Carries Tumors in Jars for Awareness

In order to raise awareness for their philanthropy, the Men’s Millennium Society (MMS) has adopted a new advertisement technique: carrying jars containing real tumors around campus.

“Our organization supports patients in cancer recovery,” said Reid Lowe, president of MMS. “So this is a fun, attention-grabbing way to tell people about our event this weekend! Come out to the ‘Tumor Strike’ this Sunday from 4-7 p.m. at Bee Creek Park! ”

Representatives of the organization state that the tumors, which new members are required to carry in sealed, hygienic jars, are obtained from Houston Methodist Hospital’s Cancer Center. Additionally, the members dress up each individual jar in a personalized costume.

“I think it’s incredible what these kids are doing. We fully support them in their attempts to raise awareness, and a lot of their donations come to our research center,” said Doctor Gabriella Taylor, the head of cancer research at Houston Methodist.

Lowe encourages those interested to attend their event on Sunday, and promises a free physical to the first 100 people to arrive.
