Cancer Society Campaigning for More Birthdays
The American Cancer Society, official sponsor of birthdays, has announced details of a new campaign that marks the next phase of the Society’s movement for More Birthdays.
Over the past several months, dozens of the biggest names in music and art have come together, inspired by the efforts of the American Cancer Society, its supporters and everyone affected by cancer, to donate their talent and artwork to help amplify the voice of the More Birthdays movement.
To date, artists such as Keith Urban, Justin Bieber, Jack Johnson, Colbie Caillat, Eric Carle, Maroon 5, Masha D’Yans and more have joined the More Birthdays movement, and others continue to join.

“Thanks in part to the progress we’ve made, today we are celebrating 350 birthdays each and every day that would have been otherwise lost to cancer,” said John R. Seffrin, chief executive officer, American Cancer Society.
Musicians joining the campaign each perform their own special rendition of “Happy Birthday,” one of the most well-known songs in the world.
And each visual artist creates or donates artwork inspired by specific facts about how the American Cancer Society has contributed to progress against cancer.
The musician and artist contributions have been turned into traditional advertising elements such as television, magazine and online ads, as well as birthday merchandise housed in a new art and music gallery on morebirthdays.com.
There the public can help celebrate More Birthdays by sending custom e-cards or buying gift wrap, posters, limited-edition prints and more – all created from the exclusive art and music donated to the campaign.
Each donation made or item purchased will help the American Cancer Society raise money and save more lives to create a world with less cancer and More Birthdays.
“I love the spirit of the American Cancer Society’s More Birthdays campaign because it celebrates life,” said three-time Grammy Award winner Keith Urban. “The marking of time, especially when spent with family and friends on that special day, helps to remind us of the little things that are most important to all of our lives.”
“I think it’s really important to support More Birthdays because the Society is helping out so much to save lives,” said multiple platinum singing sensation Justin Bieber. “Hopefully, me singing Happy Birthday to people through this effort will make them smile.”
The campaign is the creative work of the Society’s partner advertising and public relations agencies, led by The Martin Agency with support from Brodeur Partners and Vanguard Entertainment Media Marketing Group.
