Bandanna Day is an iconic fundraising and awareness campaign that sees supporters across Aotearoa come together to support rangatahi impacted by cancer. 

Bandanna Day 2023 was a wonderful success, with our amazing community of supporters raising awareness and fundraising by hosting Bandanna Day events and buying bandannas.

Making a difference.


Around 4,200 new rangatahi are impacted by cancer each year, whether it's their own diagnosis or cancer in their whānau. Last year, Canteen supported almost 700 of those rangatahi impacted by cancer in Aotearoa.


Our evidence-based support helps to reduce distress, and 96% of rangatahi would recommend us to their peers.
