At Whitsunday Anglican School, giving back to our community is a proud tradition.
Did you know that 1 in 2 Australians will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime?
At Whitsunday Anglican School, giving back to our community is a proud tradition.
This year, our students - Madi, Zahli, Anna, Katherine, Grace, Ayesha, Mia, Sai, Asathu, Alex, Misha, Sanuli, Emma, Devli, Yeshe, Saisha, Aria, Sophie, Amariah, Isla and Anaya - are taking part in the Cancer Council’s Ponytail Project, raising funds to support cancer research, prevention and care.
Throughout the year, our students will be growing their hair as long as possible, alongside peers all across Australia, before chopping off their ponytails and rocking a brand new hairdo. Every ponytail chopped will make a difference to the lives of people affected by cancer #chopforchange.
All funds raised will go towards essential cancer support services, prevention programs and lifesaving research. This means everything from transport to get cancer patients to and from their medical appointments, 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!
