National Bandanna Day is CanTeen's largest annual fundraiser, which raises funds for CanTeen to support young people living with cancer through running counselling and support programs, and establishing special youth cancer centres and services in hospitals.

Each year about 18,000 12-24 year-olds are confronted with a cancer diagnosis - whether it is their own or that of a parent, brother or sister. These shocking facts mean that thousands of young people have to come to terms with a cancer diagnosis on top of dealing with regular teen issues such as body image and peer pressure.

This year there are five new bandanna designs on sale and a lapel pin. CanTeen's bandannas sell for $4, pens $3 and the lapel pins $5. All items will be on sale at Woolworths, Woolworths Petrol, Wendys, Super Cheap Auto, BCF, Goldcross Cycles, Amart, Ray's Outdoors, Rebel Sport, Newslink, and GNC Live Well as well as street stalls nationally on CanTeen's National Bandanna Day, Friday 26th October.
