Fundraise your way
Got your own idea? Do it your way – the sky is the limit! No matter how you fundraise, every dollar you raise goes a long way to supporting South Australians impacted by cancer.
How it helps
With almost 1 in 2 Australians diagnosed with cancer by the age of 85, all of us will be touched by cancer in some way.
Every dollar you raise goes towards Cancer Council SA’s life-saving prevention programs, funding world-class research and support services for South Australians impacted by cancer when they need us most.
We truly can’t do what we do without support from the South Australian community – and every fundraiser makes a huge impact!
How it works
Step 1: Decide on your idea
Fundraise your way – any way you like. Challenge yourself, quit a habit, host an event, rock a new hair style, or be unique and bring your very own fundraising idea to life.
Step 2: Register with Do It For Cancer
Register your fundraiser online today and get set up with an online fundraising page that you can use to tell your story and share with your friends.
Step 3: Fundraise, online or in-person
Ask your friends, family and colleagues to get behind your fundraiser.
Step 4: Share progress and thank your supporters
Keep your supporters up to date on how you’re going, and let them know how much you appreciate their support.
Step 5: Your funds make an impact
Every dollar you raise will help to reduce the rate and impact of cancer for all South Australians, helping us invest in vital cancer prevention, research and support services that change lives.
