Phoenix Veteran Launches Screw Cancer Shirts to Honor Father and Fund Cancer Charities
Phoenix, United States - June 7, 2026 / Dube Screw Cancer Apparel /
A Phoenix-based apparel brand is channeling grief, military pride, and community purpose into a grassroots cancer awareness movement. dubescrewcancerapparel.com has officially launched its full line of cancer awareness apparel, bringing bold "Screw Cancer" messaging to fighters, survivors, veterans, and their families across the country. Founded in 2024 by Dana Dube, the brand donates a portion of every purchase directly to cancer charities -- a commitment built not from a marketing strategy, but from personal loss.
A Daughter's Grief, A Veteran's Legacy
The story behind dubescrewcancerapparel.com is not a corporate origin story. It is a daughter watching her father fight. Dana Dube founded the brand after her father, USMC veteran R.J. Dube, was diagnosed with cancer. That diagnosis became the turning point -- the moment grief transformed into mission.
For veterans like R.J. Dube, a cancer diagnosis is a battle that often traces back to service itself. Veterans face disproportionately high cancer rates linked to toxic exposures during military service, including Agent Orange and burn pit contamination. These are not distant statistics. They are the lived reality of men and women who served their country and came home carrying invisible threats. Dana Dube built this brand with that truth at the center.
"My dad is my hero and my reason," said Dana Dube, Founder of dubescrewcancerapparel.com. "He served this country as a Marine, and cancer became part of his fight after he came home. I started this brand because I needed to do something with that pain -- and because too many veterans and families are going through the same thing without enough support."
Screw Cancer Shirts and Apparel Built for the Fight
The product line is direct and unapologetic. dubescrewcancerapparel.com offers t-shirts, hoodies, hats, beanies, patches, and stickers -- all carrying the brand's bold "Screw Cancer" message. These are not passive awareness items. They are statements worn by people who are in the fight or standing alongside someone who is.
The screw cancer shirts and apparel are designed to give fighters and survivors something to wear that matches how they actually feel -- defiant, strong, and unwilling to be defined by a diagnosis. For the veteran community in particular, where toxic exposure has made cancer a pervasive and underdiscussed health crisis, this cancer awareness apparel carries added weight and meaning.
A portion of every purchase made through the site goes directly to cancer charities. Every hoodie sold, every hat shipped, every sticker placed on a laptop or a locker -- each transaction is tied to real financial support for organizations doing work on the ground for patients and families.
A Grassroots Movement Welcoming Community Support
What separates this veteran owned cancer charity brand from larger organizations is its roots. This is a community-built effort, and Dana Dube is open about that. The brand is actively seeking volunteers, sponsors, and community partners who want to be part of something meaningful. Whether that means contributing time, resources, or reach, the invitation is genuine and the need is real.
Phoenix, AZ serves as the home base, but the mission is not geographically limited. The online store makes the apparel accessible to anyone who wants to show up for someone fighting cancer -- or who is fighting themselves. Veterans across the country who have been impacted by toxic exposure-related cancer diagnoses are among those the brand aims to serve and represent.
The launch of dubescrewcancerapparel.com marks the beginning of what Dana Dube describes as a long-term mission. The brand is positioned to grow through community involvement, and every new partner, sponsor, or customer becomes part of that mission. Those interested in wearing the message, supporting the cause, or partnering with the brand can visit the site to shop, volunteer, or explore sponsorship opportunities.
