Standing up to cancer with Canteen
Did you know that, every single day, 63 young Aussies get told that they or a close family member has been diagnosed with cancer?
It’s only through your fundraising and support, that we can continue to be in their corner and provide services like Canteen Connect – a world class 24/7 online support service.
Canteen Connect enables young people whose lives have been impacted by cancer to connect with others in similar situations online. Information and helpful resources are tailored to each individual situation and young people can easily chat to one of our online counsellors and each other.
So please help young Aussies stand up to cancer and host an event at work or in your local community, run a virtual marathon, shave your head or ask for donations in lieu of birthday or wedding gifts. However you choose to fundraise, you can help make sure no young person has to face cancer alone.
If you need a hand setting up your fundraising page, please email the team at fundraising@canteen.org.au.
Ideas to get you started
HOST IT
Host your own fundraiser at school, virtually or at home. Host a morning tea with your colleagues or get the your friends around for a bbq, games night or pamper event.
There's so much fun to be had!
GIFT IT
Why not ask for birthday or wedding gifts in the form of a donation to Canteen this year? Set up a fundraising page and share it on social media or include the link as part of your wedding invitations.
It's truly amazing what can happen when you ask.
MOVE IT
Run, walk, cycle, swim, hop, skip, jump, dance or climb. Anything goes as long as you are 'Moving It'!
Why not get your friends, family, colleagues and school involved too and create a team. The more the merrier!
STREAM IT
Are you a serious gamer or someone who streams for fun? It's a fantastic way to fundraise! You can be playing FIFA, battling in League of Legends or even live-streaming a baking lesson, teaching karate or holding a guitar jam session.
The online world is your oyster, and it's easy to link to Canteen!
