Butts & Badges
Wear a Pin. Start a Conversation. Break the Stigma.
Colorectal and anal cancers are serious, but the silence around them doesn’t have to be. These cancers are highly preventable and treatable when caught early, yet too many people miss the signs because no one’s talking about it.
That’s why we created Butts and Badges. We’re calling on clinics, LGBTQ+ centers, and healthcare heroes everywhere to wear their Cheeky Charity pin loud and proud. While March is the spotlight season—hello, Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month and Anal Cancer Awareness Day—these pins are made to be worn year-round.
A little pin can go a long way. It sparks conversations, challenges stigma, and saves lives. Plus, it looks great on a white coat, lanyard, scrubs, or even your favorite tote.
So go ahead: pin it, wear it, talk about it. You might be the reason someone gets screened.

Why It Matters
Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in the U.S., and cases are rising in adults under 50. Many don’t know they’re at risk.
Anal cancer cases are increasing, particularly in LGBTQ+ populations, yet awareness and screening rates remain low.
Stigma and misinformation prevent people from seeking care, but a simple conversation can change that.
When you wear a Cheeky Charity pin, you’re making it easier for people to ask questions, learn about screening options, and feel empowered to take control of their health.
