When someone close to you passes away, a donation to Cancer Council NSW can be both a meaningful tribute, and a way to express hope for a cancer free future.
Whether you wish to set up an online tribute so friends and family can join in celebration of the life of a loved one, organise a group collection in lieu of flowers or just give a one off personal donation, each special gift in memory of your loved one is a gift of hope for the future.
You can also make a personal one off or monthly donation in memory of your loved one. These donations will go towards reducing the impact of cancer not only today but for future generations.

Create a tribute page
Nikitas was 34 when he was diagnosed with bowel cancer. He passed away within four months of being diagnosed. Before he died, he always said how he wanted to help others going through cancer. The plan was once he got better he would find a way to do this. When he passed away we wanted to keep his wish alive. We started a fundraiser to help others in his name, and were blown away by the amount we raised and how many people wanted to contribute and help. It was amazing.Irene, in memory of her brother Nikitas
