How every cup counts

 

Money raised by Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea enable The Cancer Council, as the country’s leading cancer charity, to continue to fund:

 

RESEARCH

In 2007 The Cancer Council funded over 200 research grants across Australia.

 

EDUCATION AND AWARENESS

eg. SunSmart and Quit.

 

SUPPORT SERVICES

Support services such as the Cancer Council Helpline 13 11 20 for patients and their families.

 

ADVOCACY

Lobbying the Government for the rights of patients and the public.

 

 

How does $5 help?

$5 can enable us to provide a newly diagnosed cancer patient with important support and information resources to help them through their cancer journey.

 

Our support and information services ensure that cancer patients are fully informed about their disease, understand their treatment options and are aware of the local services available to them.

 

How does $10 help?

$10 can ensure that we continue to run The Cancer Council Helpline, a confidential telephone information and referral service.

 

Calls are answered by trained health professionals who provide information on cancer and cancer treatment, and will put callers in touch with support services in their local area.

 

How does $20 help?

$20 can help us train a Cancer Connect volunteer. These volunteers are cancer survivors who will provide one-to-one support for people diagnosed with cancer. Many cancer patients feel that the support and encouragement they receive through this service is an important part of their overall care and recovery.

 

How does $50 help?

$50 can help us fund clinical trials, which test new and better ways to prevent, diagnose and treat cancer. Clinical trials ensure cancer patients have access to new treatments and receive the best care.

 

How does $100 help?

$100 can go towards the cost of funding ground-breaking research into the causes of cancer and into new and improved treatments. Significant advances have been achieved through research; the cancer mortality rate in Australia has decreased by 17% over 10 years, and is at its lowest level since the 1970s.
