Cancerian Committees
Cancerian Committees are dedicated volunteer groups that organise events within their local communities to support and fund cancer research. Over the past decade, these remarkable groups have collectively raised more than $10 million to help find new and improved ways to prevent, detect and treat ALL types of cancer.
From gala balls and wine tastings to Mother’s Day luncheons and Jazz at Parliament House, our committees consistently find creative and enjoyable ways to make fundraising a rewarding social experience. We extend our heartfelt thanks to all Cancerian Committees for their unwavering commitment and invaluable contribution to cancer research.
