It's time your workplace went bold for teenagers facing cancer. Here's why...

Every day, 63 young Aussies have their world turned upside down by two small words "it's cancer". Whether their own diagnosis or a loved ones, it's easy to feel isolated and alone.

4 out of 5

young people impacted by cancer feel distressed or alone.

3 every day

Every day, another 3 young people are diagnised with cancer

74% of funding

from Canteen comes from generous donors and fundraisers like you.

But your workplaces taking on the Big Bold Hair Challenge will help raise funds for life-changing peer support services, counselling, study assistance, clinical trials and more.

How your workplace can raise funds... the easy way

Food is a great fundraiser
Wheatherr you hold a sausage sizzle lunch, a massive morning tea or a cake sales for the 3pm munchies, food is the ultimate fundraiser. Ask team members to bake or bring a slice to share, or be ready to donate. Every dollar counts.

Get your boss involved
Persuade your manager or CEO to go bold... we reckon they'd rock a rainbow mohawk. Lock them in to shave, cut or colour their hair — and get staff or clients to bid for the honour of wielding the clippers!

Ask your clients, too!
Ask your clients, management or board of directors to support your bold action. They might even match your fundraising efforts, dollar for dollar, to double your impact!

Go bold! Shave. Cut. Colour
On 1 October, it's time to celebrate. Some decorations, a cake... and a hair treatment station. Don't forget those spontaneous staff members who could be persuaded to jump into the chair on the day!

Theme the day and ask people to donate to dress up.
Take photos and videos. You can even livestream the event.

Get as many people involved as your can.
The more, the merrier! As well as supporting teens facing cancer, these are workplace memories you're making.
