Australian Cancer Research Foundation (ACRF) is excited to launch its highly anticipated annual Host campaign, a movement encouraging Australians to turn their gatherings into life-saving fundraising events in support of groundbreaking cancer research.
Clarissa Feildel Joins as Official Ambassador for This Year’s Campaign
Adding an extra dash of inspiration, Clarissa Feildel – passionate home cook and co-host of Channel Seven’s Better Homes & Gardens – has stepped up to the ‘hot’ plate as the official ambassador for this year’s campaign. With her extensive expertise in curating memorable events, Clarissa brings a wealth of knowledge to the table. As the co-author of More Please and co-owner of La Botanique, she is the perfect advocate for this exciting initiative.
Cooking up for cancer research: Clarissa Feildel’s passion for the cause
Clarissa understands the power of food and community, with her love for cooking shaped by her rich Nyonya/Chinese and Sri Lankan heritage. For her, this campaign is personal.
“We have all been touched by cancer in some way. For me, it was my mother-in-law, who had breast cancer, and two of my good friends, who were diagnosed with lymphoma and cervical cancer. Thankfully, they are all cancer-free, a result of continued advancements in medical research and treatment.”
Driven by her belief in the power of cancer research, Clarissa is inviting Australians everywhere to Host with ACRF to help save lives.
“Cancer research saves lives. Every breakthrough in research leads to better treatments, early detection methods, and ultimately, a cancer-free future. Cancer touches so many families, and supporting research means supporting those impacted today and those who may face a diagnosis in the future.” she said.
Clarissa’s love for cooking aligns perfectly with Host, which encourages people to bring friends and family together – whether over a BBQ, morning tea, dinner party, or even an online gathering – to raise funds for brilliant cancer research.
“Make it fun, don’t stress! It’s about creating awareness and sharing experiences.”
How Australians can Host
With 2 in 5 Australians diagnosed with cancer by age 85, ACRF is on a mission to reach a world without cancer by providing world-class scientists with the cutting-edge technology and equipment needed to improve detection, treatment, and prevention. Now, through the Host campaign, everyday Australians can contribute in a fun, meaningful way.
How It Works:
ACRF’s CEO, Kerry Strydom, is thrilled to have Clarissa leading the charge. “With Clarissa’s support, the ‘Host’ campaign makes fundraising accessible and fun. It’s about turning what we love, gathering with friends and family, into something truly impactful.”
“With Clarissa’s rich culinary heritage and passion for bringing people together, she’s inspiring Australians to turn gatherings into life-saving events. Host your own fundraiser, raise $250, and enjoy exclusive recipes from Clarissa, all while supporting vital cancer research.” she said.
