By dressing casual and making a donation, you will be helping Cancer Council Queensland eliminate cancer and diminish suffering from cancer through research, treatment, education and patient care.

You can participate in Dress Down Day in a number of ways:

At work
Organise co-workers to dress down for the day and make a minimum gold coin donation for doing so. You can dress casual or in a theme, or enter our ‘Best Dressed’ competition. Why not put on a morning tea or barbecue lunch to make the day extra special?

At school
Get permission from your teacher or school principal and organise your school to have a free dress day. Ask the students and teachers to make a donation to Cancer Council Queensland. You might even like to incorporate Dress Down Day into your end-of-year celebrations.
