Raise vital funds
The money you raise on the day goes directly to the Fight Cancer Foundation. You'll be helping kids kick cancer by funding family accommodation and supporting vital research.
Footy Colours Day exists to help kids fighting cancer stay with their families and close to treatment.
When a child is diagnosed with cancer:
Three Australian children are diagnosed with cancer every day.
On average, a child spends over six months away from home and school during treatment.
Rising living costs make staying together close to treatment even harder.
