I did a party on Saturday and the lady requested that I do a raffle with the money going towards a cancer charity. She wasn't bothered which one but, to be honest, I don't know which is the main one. At my cancer fundraisers I normally just give the money to the host. Does anyone know the main one in Oz with a website ?

Thank you

The McGrath Foundation springs to mind, but there are lots of others too.

The McGrath one was the one that sprung to mind with me too. There is also the Cancer Council of Australia I think the name is, they do the daffodil fundraising thing every year.

McGrath or Cancer Council are the main ones. They are plenty of other little charities, but they tend to feed the bigger ones with a bit taken out for admin.

The McGrath Foundation was set up by Jane McGrath, Glen McGraths wife, she died of breast cancer a couple of years ago. Her charity provides specialist breast cancer nurses in public hospitals. A bit like Macmillan nurses in the UK.

The Cancer Council deal with all forms of cancers and help in lots of different ways.

It just depends if you want specifially breast cancer or all cancers? Personally I think breast cancer get so much recognition AND support now that I'd go with the Cancer council who give to research for all cancers, but thats just me :S
