In celebration

A gift that makes a difference

Whether it's a wedding, birthday, anniversary, or a festive occasion, choosing to donate to the Australian Cancer Research Foundation (ACRF) adds profound meaning to your special day. It's not just a celebration; it's a step towards pioneering discoveries in cancer research.

At ACRF, we’re committed to backing brilliant research by enabling scientists with cutting-edge technology and resources. Our goal is simple yet ambitious: to unlock new methods for the prevention, detection, and treatment of all types of cancer.

Plan your birthday celebrations

Dedicate your birthday celebration to raising vital funds for cancer research. Ask for a donation instead of a gift, or use your celebration to raise funds. It’s up to you how you wish to donate.

Your contribution to ACRF will help give scientists the technology, equipment, and infrastructure essential to accelerating life-saving cancer research.
