Will Ferrell's Sexy Hot Tan, Sunstroke and Forbidden Fruit SPF 30 sunscreens
launched today on Amazon, eBay and www.cancerforcollege.org starting at
$11.99. The products are Ferrell's first foray into fundraising products for a
charity he has been involved in since his college days.

Cancer for College was formed in 1993 by two-time cancer survivor and double
amputee, Craig Pollard. Pollard was a fraternity brother of Will Ferrell at
the University of Southern California. Since its inception, Ferrell has been a
devoted supporter of the charity and has served as the celebrity host of
Cancer for College fundraising events since 2002.

"Some people are charitable with their money. Some are charitable with their
time," said Craig Pollard. "Will Ferrell has been extremely generous with
both."

The launch of this product significantly expands the organization's ability to
help cancer survivors obtain a college education. The organization helps fund
everything from text books to full scholarships for kids who have battled
cancer and dreamed of going to college, despite the financial hardships of
battling their conditions.

"We are obviously appealing to sun worshippers, streakers, art lovers and the
ever growing market of body-building golfers," said Ferrell. "We hope that
everyone will see the humor in this product and join us in support of a very
worthy cause."
