The Canberra Cancerians Committee is renowned as being one of the most successful fundraising groups for cancer research in Australia having raised more than $2 million for the ACRF. In addition, the Committee enjoys a reputation of staging the most sought after and glamorous events on the Canberra social calendar, culminating in their annual Black & White Ball at the Great Hall of Parliament House.

“In the past two years alone we have raised over $500,000 from our Black & White Ball, with sell out crowds of 640 and a waiting list,” says Immediate Past President Eric Koundouris, adding that the high profile Committee and the dedicated contribution by the individual members made the group extremely successful in attracting generous sponsorship and spectacular auction prizes.
