So far the event has raised over $500,000 for cancer research, education and prevention programs and we are well on our way to achieving our “$1milion in 10 years” fundraising target.

This year’s Golf Classic promises to be a fantastic event, offering corporate groups a unique opportunity to play at a world-class golf course, and support Let’s Beat Bowel Cancer in it’s mission to save lives.

Among the celebrities at this popular event will be Let’s Beat Bowel Cancer Ambassadors Geoff “Coxy” Cox - TV personality and veteran musician; and tennis champions John Fitzgerald & Todd Woodbridge.  There are “beat the pro” & “hole in one” competitions as well as an on-course BBQ & refreshments to keep players entertained.

This most successful event concludes with a fundraising auction and a call for “pledges” which enable Let’s Beat Bowel Cancer to promote their integrated media campaigns via TV, radio and other high profile media – spreading the word to more people, more often and saving many more lives! Funds raised from the Golf Classic will go towards bowel cancer research as well as conducting public awareness campaigns.

Let’s Beat Bowel Cancer is very appreciative to its valued sponsors, suppliers & players for their fantastic support of this event.

 

 

Now in its tenth year, Bowel Cancer Awareness Week is an annual public education initiative of Bowel Cancer Australia, recognised by Let’s Beat Bowel Cancer and other prominent Australian bowel cancer awareness groups. The Week aims to raise public awareness of a disease that claims the lives of almost 100 Australians every week. 

Let’s Beat Bowel Cancer wants all Australians to:

• Be aware
• Get tested
• Talk to their GP’s

Did you know?

• Bowel cancer is the most common cause of internal cancer affecting Australian men and women.
• Bowel cancer is Australia’s second biggest cancer killer after lung cancer.
• One Australian dies every two hours from this disease.
• Australia has the highest incidence of bowel cancer in the world, but the good news is that more than 90% of people survive bowel cancer if it is detected early and treated before the disease has spread.
• Currently fewer than 40% of bowel cancers are detected early.
• Testing is simple, anonymous and inexpensive, and can be done with a self-testing kit at home without embarrassing or invasive procedures.

Bowel Cancer Awareness Week has a positive message – saving lives through early detection – as bowel cancer is one of the most curable types of cancer if found early.

Activities during the Week promote and encourage Australians who are at a higher risk of developing the disease or experiencing symptoms to consult their GP.
