Why host an event?
When a child is diagnosed with cancer their world is turned upside down overnight. With treatment starting instantly, they face, on average, more than 6 months away from their school and school friends.
Our education programs help these kids when they need it most so they can return to their normal life without the significant social and emotional impacts of having to drop a year level.
By hosting a Footy Colours Day event you are ensuring these kids can put their cancer behind them, reach their full potential at school and get back to doing what they do best - being a kid!
