Oxley Golf Course
Sponsorship of this event is a fantastic way to gain exposure and enjoy networking opportunities, have some fun and help regional families of kids with cancer. So, if you fancy yourself as a bit of a golf pro (or not) or if your colleagues and clients love golf, or you just want to have some fun and support a great cause then get a team together and join the fun. Remember only 18 team sponsor spots available. Entry forms are available now.
Each year, Childhood Cancer Support holds a free camping getaway for families of children who are presently facing or have faced childhood cancer, regardless of what stage they are currently at. All are welcome to join the camp. Some families may have children who are newly diagnosed, some may be in remission, some may be long-term survivors and others may be parents or siblings of those who have passed.

Christmas is a special time for most of us, but for families who have children with cancer, it can be a daunting holiday. Childhood cancer is an unfortunate reality for the families living at Childhood Cancer Support, and when family and friends reside long distances away, the financial and emotional stress can turn this special time into another worry.

We have a wonderful community of supporters that hold fundraising events in support of Childhood Cancer Support. If you are interested in hosting a community fundraising event we would love to hear from you!
Each year we get together and ride our Postie bikes around regional Queensland,
usually for a week and cover about 2,000 km.
Through donations, raffles, and auctions this year the Postie Bike Safari
have raised just over $68,295 for Childhood Cancer Support.
Thank you to all the riders and 5 or 6 support vehicles and donors involved

Each week families are able to come together around our playground for a complimentary coffee, cake and chat with our Family Social Worker. Our Coffee, Cake & Chat events allows families the opportunity to be in a warm and nurturing environment with other families alike and provide support to one another. It is also a time to forget about hospital appointments and enjoy the social aspects of being with other families.
It is a lovely environment where our children are playing in our outdoor playground whilst parents can chat and get to know each other. Many long-standing friendships have been forged at Childhood Cancer Support with our families around our social events.
We also invite guest speakers to talk with the families about issues relevant to their cancer journey.
On the last Friday of each month, Childhood Cancer Support offers a free BBQ for all families. It is an evening where the parents and children can unwind, eat a sumptuous steak cooked on the BBQ and sample delicious accompanying foods, plus enjoy one another’s company in a relaxed and supportive environment. Our BBQs are run by volunteers, who provide this service with much love and dedication to our oncology families.
Our Family Social Worker organises activities each school holiday period for the resident families and those families who have previously stayed with Childhood Cancer Support. These activities are for all family members and are different each holiday period. Activities include arts and crafts, cooking, in-house movie days, excursions, sports or competitions. Our Family Social Worker makes the activities inclusive for patients and their siblings and ensures that if a patient wants to attend but needs some support or assistance, that appropriate arrangements are made.
We also offer the following supports for families:
