Fight Cancer Foundation’s Footy Colours Day is a national fundraising campaign which helps kids with cancer.
Those kids need you now more than ever.
Kids with cancer are especially vulnerable to COVID-19, and are facing prolonged isolation due to their weakened immune system.
Whether it's a socially distanced BBQ, a virtual morning tea or simply wearing your footy colours, join us on the Footy Colours Day team to make a difference for kids with cancer this year!

SPREAD THE WORD
WEAR YOUR COLOURS
Make a difference this year.
Thank you to everyone who donned their footy colours this year and was a true champion for kids with cancer.
The money you raised, will go a long way in helping kids with cancer keep up with school during their treatment and recovery.
It's been a trying (no rugby pun intended!) year for us all. We hope through Footy Colours Day you were able to have a bit of footy fun and bring your community together for a common cause.
YOUR IMPACT
The money you raise through Footy Colours Day funds Fight Cancer Foundation's education support programs. Our programs operate in major paediatric hospitals to help kids with cancer keep up with school while they are in hospital.
Meet Maddy.
At just five years old, Maddy was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL).
"To keep your mind healthy and active it’s so important because these kids who are stuck in hospital have had their normal lives ripped out from underneath their feet.” - Lori, Maddy's mum
Meet Jett.
Jett was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer when he was just seven years old.
“I don’t know what we would have done without it. The program gave him a sense of normality. It takes their mind away from the horrible situation. It’s invaluable really.” - Mel, Jett's mum
