How to support Childhood Cancer Awareness Month

Adelaide landmarks will join a global initiative by lighting up GOLD on Friday 1 September in support of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month.

By ‘going gold’, iconic landmarks, including Adelaide Oval, Government House, the Riverbank Footbridge, the Adelaide Railway Station building, and the Town Hall balcony, will show their support for more than 400 local families affected by cancer.

Share your pictures on social media of these iconic Adelaide landmarks going gold - by using the hashtags #childhoodcancerassociation and #gogold.

Each year in South Australia, the Childhood Cancer Association receives an average of 60 referrals for children newly diagnosed with cancer.  In addition to this, an average of 10 children relapse and 8 children pass away in South Australia every year.
