Comedians Tweet For #CancersNoJoke April Fools Day Awareness Campaign

Comedians like Sarah Colonna, Josh Wolf and Fran Drescher are joining forces in an April Fools Day campaign that is anything but funny: they’ll be tweeting on behalf of @AbolishCancer to encourage people to become bone marrow donors, a serious topic indeed.

The idea behind this campaign is to subvert April Fools Day – which is a day typically known for humor and pranks – and draw people’s attention to something more serious.

Each year in the US alone, there are over 10,000 people in need of a bone marrow donation from someone they’re not related to.
