Pink trees for Pauline introduce doeks with a difference

Pink Trees for Pauline (PTFP) kicks off again in September and will launch a new campaign named #doekwithadifference in association with the Cancer Association of South Africa (Cansa).
The campaign is a natural extension of the PTFP slogan “Wrapped in colour, united in hope” and aims to raise funds specifically for care and support programmes for cancer patients and those affected by cancer.
The doeks (head wraps) will be available in pink and green and will be sold to raise funds at R70 each.
Individuals and companies can still show their support by buying the pink fabric at R25 per metre and wrapping trees in their local towns and communities.
The doeks and fabric will be available soon at all Cansa Care Centres countrywide.
PTFP was rolled out in 2017 in approximately 140 towns with an estimated population of just under over 4,5 million of which more than 75% are from informal towns and poor resource families. Cansa uses all funds raised from the campaign towards accommodation for patients during cancer treatment, home-based care nursing, feeding schemes for cancer affected patients and training social workers and also for supplying wigs, prosthesis and wheelchairs.
To get a doek or pink material contact the nearest Cansa Care Centre toll-free on 0800 22 66 22 or send an e-mail to info@cansa.org.za or visit www.cansa.org.za/cansa-care-centres-contact-details.
