Gilgai Plains Primary School

We're wearing our footy colours for kids with cancer!

Every day, 3 Aussie kids are diagnosed with cancer. For families facing long-term treatment, the average stay is more than 6 months, often far from home, school, friends and everything familiar.

This year, we're taking part in Fight Cancer Foundation's Footy Colours Day to help these kids and their families.

The money we raise will help Fight Cancer Foundation provide accommodation and support for cancer patients and their families who need to travel for treatment.

With 30% of Australians living more than 180km from major healthcare, Fight Cancer Foundation's accommodation centres provide families with a home away from home, helping them stay together and close to treatment without the added burden of accommodation costs.

Please donate what you can and help make a difference for Aussie kids and families facing cancer.
