Ponytail Project 2026 VIC

We're dooing a crazy hair day to put a stop to cancer!

Did you know that 1 in 2 Australians will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime?

We're taking part in Cancer Council’s Ponytail Project campaign to raise funds that will support people impacted by cancer.

Throughout the year, we will be growing our hair as long as possible, alongside peers all across Australia, before chopping off our ponytail or rocking a brand new hairdo. Every ponytail chopped/ dollar donated will make a difference to the lives of people affected by cancer #chopforchange.

All funds raised will go towards cancer research, prevention programs and support services. This means everything from counselling and financial advice to programs that help you manage side effects and maintain quality of life, to assisting childcare facilities to keep kids safe from the sun.

We know that we can help create change.

Will you support us?

You can find out more about where your donations go at ponytailproject.com.au/about-cancer-council. 

Thank you!
