September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month
September isn’t just about the Royal Adelaide Show and Father’s Day – it’s also global Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. And this year, the Childhood Cancer Association brings both together.
The CCA will be at The Royal Adelaide Show with a fun stall including colouring-in competition for young children. And the CCA has your ideal present for Father’s Day – buy a pair of their special edition dress socks, with all proceeds going towards services for children experiencing cancer, and their families.
Other ways you can help this Childhood Cancer Awareness Month:
- Light up gold. Light up your house/building “gold” (yellow) in support of childhood cancer awareness month – this is a global initiative which will also see Adelaide landmarks “light up gold” in support.
