We all know there are so many needy organisations in South Africa - why should you choose to support Cansa and the Cansa Relay For Life?

This is why...

Cancer affects one in four South Africans and the cancer burden is growing. Thousands South Africans died of cancer and the tragedy is many of these deaths could be prevented. Cansa is the only national cancer organisation and they have been fighting cancer for 77 years - since 1931.

Welcome to the Cansa Polokwane Relay For Life 2010 page!

We are planning a bigger and better event for 2010 and need all your support/suggestions and ideas.

Important Dates

Information Meeting - Tuesday, 18 May 2010 at the Hospitium, College Street Polokwane, 17:30 for 18:00

Relay Launch - Friday, 28 May 2010 at Bolivia Lodge

Relay Event - 8 & 9 October 2010 at the Sports Grounds of Pietersburg High School

Cansa Polokwane Relay For Life needs sixty teams to reach their target of two hundred teams!

The Polokwane Relay of 2008 was the biggest Relay ever in Africa with hundred and sixty seven teams taking part. We want to be bigger and stronger this year with the help and support of  the Polokwane community. Teams are busy raising funds in very creative ways such as the Murder Mystery Evening held by Sharon Booth's team. They raised R5300 with that one event!

Are you ready for Relay For Life 2009?

We are in the final stretch, if you have not entered your team, the time is NOW!

Team Captains Meeting on 19 August 2009 at 17:30 at the Hospitium. Join us for soup and sherry and loads of information, fun and fundraising ideas.

You are welcome to use this opportunity to bank your team's money or make a direct deposit.

Naas Vorster and Johan Engelbrecht of Absa Polokwane in their attire for the Cansa Polokwane Relay for Life that will take place on 11 September 2009. We do expect that the weather will force them to wear something a little less revealing. Walking around a rugby field for a whole night is not everyone's cup of cake but these two are part of a number of Absa teams that will participate for this good cause.

Can you believe it? Only 8 weeks to Relay 2009!

Soup & Sherry Evening

From Catering to Candles!

We need 10 000 candles for Relay For Life 2009! Candles will be used for Survivors and in the Lumunaria bags. (Photos of Lumunaria bags on our Facebook page - http://cli.gs/YzZvyA). Eileen Schofield is running a campaign with schools to get candles donated. Absa staff is collecting candles all over the province. Absa Thohoyandou was the first to confirm their donation.
