You are what funds research
... the most frequent questions.
Do I have to fundraise?
Yes, you have to fundraise in return for your coached training program. Don’t let that worry you too much, we’ve been doing this since 2005 so we have plenty of resources available to help you achieve your fundraising goal. Plus, you’ll have a Team Captain and Mentor/s to guide you through. The best approach is to have a plan and to start early.
Where does the money go?
When you fundraise for Can Too Foundation, you're fundraising for Australian cancer research and prevention. We focus on investing in early-career cancer researchers across all cancer types.
Can Too Foundation funded 11 researchers in 2020 and are funding a further 9 researchers in 2021.
As a registered charity, we will always be careful with every single dollar we spend and completely transparent in our reporting.
What if I don't meet my commitment?
Can Too has been teaching people to run and raise funds for cancer research for 16 years. We know that if you put your mind to it and work hard you CAN TOO help fund Australia's most promising cancer research projects.
You have until 30 days after your goal race to meet your commitment, and we continue working with you until options are exhausted.
How long do I have to fundraise?
The good news is that you have until 30 days after your program finishes to meet your commitment to cancer research and prevention.
