Win a Free Colonoscopy in NYC

By , About.com GuideMarch 29, 2009

Follow me on:

I have to admit that I never thought a colonoscopy to have prize worthy status, but the folks at CBS sure do. The television giant is promoting a sweepstakes to win an all expense paid trip to NYC to get a colonoscopy. When I saw the commercial advertising the contest, my jaw dropped. It is definitely unique and one of a kind. What a great way to promote colon cancer awareness! Watch the commercial here...

Before all you twenty-somethings get excited at the prospect of winning a free trip at the sacrifice of getting a colonoscopy, know that the contest is open to men and women over 40 years of age -- those who are generally at most risk of developing colon cancer.

CBS Cares is the organization sponsoring the sweepstakes and is responsible for several public service announcements about cancer. The short PSAs feature celebrities like Alyson Hannigan and Kaley Cuoco, CBS sitcom stars. You can learn more about CBS Cares and enter the sweepstakes by visitng the CBS Cares website.
