Happy Easter from the ACRF! Posted on April 2, 2015March 14, 2018 by Carly du Toit It can be hard to believe there’s a great substitute for chocolate at Easter – but it’s true! It’s not too late to change things up this year and choose to give small donations in lieu of gifts. This kind of Easter gift truly is one that will make an amazing difference to the fight against cancer. We’re not the only ones who will appreciate it, just take a look at the list of people who will thank you: Your personal trainer Your dentist (unless he likes to watch you squirm) Cancer research teams across Australia (this is the best part) Cancer patients of future generations And of course, our team here at ACRF! If you’re still not sure, just ask the lovely ladies of the Bexley North Cancerians who hosted their own Easter Parade last week. They’ve been helping raise funds for cancer research for the past 20 years and have raised an incredible $95,000 through small events. Proof that even the smallest of gestures add up in the end! Our office will be closed on April 3rd for the long weekend, and we will be back in the office on April 7th. But fear not, if you are a last minute shopper you can make small charity gifts online during this time and a receipt will be sent to your email address automatically. Thank you again for your ongoing support. Happy Easter, and special wishes to our Greek (Kaló Páscha) and Italian (Buona Pasqua) supporters!

Charity volunteer group celebrate Easter in style Posted on March 30, 2015March 14, 2018 by Carly du Toit Our Bexley North Cancerians Committee hosted another event last week – this time getting crafty for an Easter Hat Parade. This amazing charity volunteer group has been hosting small events and afternoon teas for cancer research for the last 20 years, using special occasions such as Easter as a chance to get back in touch with each other, have a catch-up and a laugh. After all, fundraising should be fun! Our staff member Michael was delighted to attend, and to judge the hat parade. The cancer fundraising event also included an Easter themed word-search and a raffle, in total raising $1,600. Since they started supporting the ACRF many years ago, the Bexley North charity volunteer group have presented to the ACRF an incredible $95,000 in funds raised for cancer research. They truly are the perfect example of how “every little bit counts” and we are so grateful for their support. We’d like to thank all of the Bexley ladies, and send a special thank you to leaders of the Committee, Betty Holman and Carole Pont. We know we couldn’t continue to fund world-class cancer research without the support of these very special charity volunteer and fundraising groups. Share your story
