Street Fundraisers

Our Street Fundraisers work across the country to raise awareness for the needs of cancer patients and families. In communities and towns nationwide, you’ll find us nearby for a friendly and informative discussion on ways to get involved in support of everyone going through a cancer diagnosis today.  

Around 42,000 people in Ireland receive a cancer diagnosis every year. Sadly, 9,000 people die from this disease. It is our mission to ensure everyone has access to world class support at every stage of their cancer diagnosis. 

We typically receive only 5% of funding from the government. It’s the kind generosity of our community that we can meet the rising demand for support. Our teams specialize in monthly giving, a highly effective way to raise much-needed funds for vital cancer support for everyone in need.
