Cuppa for Cansa!
Cansa challenges all workplaces, businesses and service organisations to ‘Splash out Hope’ and to raise awareness for those affected by cancer.
The Cancer Association of South Africa (Cansa) announced that the first National Cuppa For Cansa Day event will be held soon.
According to a statement, it will take place on Friday, 3 August as part of the Cuppa For Cansa campaign, which usually runs from June to 31 October annually.
Cansa challenges all places of employment, businesses and service organisations to ‘Splash out Hope’ and to raise awareness for those affected by cancer.
They also urged the community to organise a Cuppa at their workplace and share photos of their events on Cansa’s national Facebook page, CANSA The Cancer Association of South Africa on 3 August.
Maria Scholtz, Cansa Head of Sustainability stated, “By sharing your favourite beverage at a Cuppa with work colleagues, we also aim to create awareness of the challenges employees and companies experience when having to deal with cancer,” she said.
“We know that work actually forms a valuable part of most cancer survivors’ recovery. It provides them with a sense of purpose and normality when, often, their lives have been turned drastically off-course. Cancer survivors benefit greatly from support and acceptance by their colleagues,” Maria said.
Participants who share photos will be entered into a competition and stand a chance to win wonderful prizes.
