CLIC Sargent (Winner)
Issued by Eurobest · Jan 2014
Associated with Havas London One of the toughest things a young person faces when living with cancer is being ostracised. From school, from friends and in some cases from their family. They miss out on the normal stuff. The things that kids care about most. Friendship and laughter. This is one of the key areas of CLIC Sargent’s work - and why The Joke Appeal was such a fitting campaign to raise their awareness. The idea was simple. Instead of donating money or blood, we wanted jokes.
