Current Events at the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia

Supporters

The Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia (PCFA) is the national body for prostate cancer in Australia. The PCFA plays a vital role in the fight against prostate cancer and devotes all of it resources towards reducing the impact of prostate cancer on the community.

PCFA receives less than 1% of its income from government funding and therefore relies on corporations and individuals to fund these vital programs.

The PCFA is dedicated to:

  • funding research into prostate cancer
  • growing our network of 80 support groups nationally and supporting the men and their families affected by prostate cancer,
  • raising awareness about prostate cancer, through ongoing publicity, campaigns and events
  • advocating for support from both state and federal governments.

There are many ways to support PCFA.

  • Individuals and groups
    • Make a donation – phone us on 1800 22 00 99 or online from this website or mail to PCFA, PO Box 1332, Lane Cove, 1595.

    • Conduct an event or fundraiser for us – contact 1800 22 00 99 for a Proposal to Raise Funds and our Guidelines for Fundraising
    • You can also fundraise for us through an event and provide the funds to us easily by using websites like everydayhero.com.au where you undertake an activity – nominate PCFA as the charity and use the website to send out your support request and handle all of the receipts
    • Organise a BBQ for prostate cancer – see bbqprostate.com.au for all the information on a fun day to be had with family and friends
