Host or attend a Cuppa for CANSA
Cansa has remained committed to connecting people facing cancer with information and resources, day-to-day help and emotional support for over 90 years.
It’s Cuppa for Cansa time again.
This annual fundraiser for the Cancer Association of South Africa (Cansa) aims to bring family, friends, colleagues and social groups together to spend quality time while supporting Cansa’s vital healthcare mission of fighting cancer.
Cuppa events raise funds for Cansa to offer early detection through cancer education, breast, prostate and skin screenings, patient care and support that includes community home-based care, wig and medical equipment hire and Stoma care assistance.
Participants can choose to host a Cuppa or attend as a guest.

Anita Snyders, Cansa’s national sustainability manager, said Cuppa was one of Cansa’s most popular campaigns, thanks to the support from the public, event partners and sponsors.
“Cansa is thankful to Five Roses, the official Cuppa tea partner, sponsoring the limited-edition production of Cuppa mugs and tea for each event,” she said.
This year’s theme is With Friends – Like Teas.
“One of my favourite sayings is ‘friendship is not about who you spend the most time with. It’s about who you have the best time with’, and I think Cuppa events embody this beautifully,” Snyders added.
The theme also echoes the care and compassion of the work of Cansa in SA.
Cancer patients (survivors), loved ones and caregivers need a friend when diagnosed or impacted by cancer.
