Every dollar of every donation received goes to cancer research with all donations over $2 tax deductible
|
New treatments and technologies mean survival for people with cancer who once had no hope. Cancer is the No. 1 killer of Australians. One in every three Australians will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime . Sustained research is the key to managing cancer, and hopefully one day stopping it in its tracks. Real progress is being made. Every year this cancer charity receives many applications for grants from Australia's leading scientists. With your help we are able to provide multi-million grants to the very best projects, but for each project we fund, many equally important projects miss out due to lack of funds. One day we aim to fund every project aimed at curing cancer and that's where you come in.
You can ensure that vital research continues in the battle to prevent, control and find a cure for cancer. Tax-deductible Donations to this cancer charity range from $2 right on upwards to generous bequests of several million dollars.
And every dollar of every donation received by ACRF goes to cancer research.
