DECEMBEARD® AUSTRALIA RETURNS
Announcement posted by Bowel Cancer Australia 26 Nov 2018
RAISING AWARENESS AND FUNDS TO BEAT BOWEL CANCER
Now in its sixth year, Decembeard® Australia is a hair–raising fundraiser held during the month of December (1st-31st December), that encourages men to grow a beard or take a Beard Challenge, to raise funds and help Bowel Cancer Australia beat bowel cancer.
Bowel cancer is Australia's second deadliest cancer, affecting around 1 in 11 Aussie men in their lifetime, and yet it remains largely unspoken about.
“That’s why we’ve dedicated the month of December to raising much needed awareness and funds to address bowel cancer,” said Claire Annear, Bowel Cancer Australia’s Community Engagement Manager.
“Anyone can get involved and there are no complicated rules. Grow a beard, sponsor someone who is, or get your friends involved by hosting a beard-themed fundraiser,” said Ms Annear.
By raising funds for Bowel Cancer Australia, the 100% community funded charity can provide information and support services to the thousands of Australians affected by bowel cancer each year.
Give your razor a rest this Decembeard® and sign up for the challenge!
