Fight Cancer Foundation is calling on all Australians to ‘show their true colours’ this September during Footy Colours Day to support kids with cancer.

Footy Colours Day is about putting team rivalries aside and wearing your favourite team’s colours to raise much needed funds for Fight Cancer Foundation.

More than 800 Australian children and young people are diagnosed with cancer each year. Donated funds from Footy Colours Day will go towards helping these children continue their education, allowing them to transition back to their regular school once their treatment is complete.

Popular fundraising activities for Footy Colours Day include sausage sizzles, footy themed fashion parades, footy coin lines and longest kick competitions.

Register your school, organisation, group or club at footycoloursday.com.au and join in the action.
