Door Knocking

We have received a few reports from people who have had someone show up at their door claiming to be from Child Cancer Foundation and asking for a donation. We do not have any representatives of Child Cancer Foundation undertaking door-to-door collections, nor have we endorsed any third parties to do so on our behalf. There are many charities currently undertaking this form of fundraising and there may be some brand confusion.

If you are suspicious of someone claiming to be collecting money for Child Cancer Foundation or fundraising on our behalf, don’t feel pressured to make a quick decision.
