How will my In Celebration donation help?
An In Celebration donation celebrates your special occasion and provides hope for all West Australians. Your donation will:
- fund vital cancer research
- educate the community on how to reduce their risk of cancer
- provide information and support services to people affected by cancer
How to create an In Celebration web page
Create your own In Celebration personal web page for any special occasion and invite your family and friends to donate to Cancer Council Western Australia instead of giving you gifts.
Simply set-up your own web page and you can easily send e-mails to your family and friends asking for donations, send invitations to your special occasion and easily keep track of your donations.
You can set up your Give In Celebration webpage using our online registration page.
Tom and Vanessa's Wedding
"When Vanessa and I decided to get married in April 2011, we decided to think outside the box.
A request was made, with the help of Cancer Council, for guests to make a donation to Cancer Council WA in lieu of presents.
In March 2010, after 50 years of marriage, I lost my lovely wife, Ray, to ovarian cancer. Vanessa had also lost her Mother to cancer just some months previous, so the cause was close to both our hearts and helped us both in our healing.'" - Tom Falloon
How to make an In Celebration donation

Rose's 21st Birthday
"Deciding to donate to Cancer Council WA in lieu of gifts at my 21st Birthday was one of the easiest decisions I've ever made.
My party was held in honour of my aunty, who recently passed away from cancer.
The night was great fun and highly successful as a fundraiser; guests also donated a gold coin on entrance.
I'd encourage anyone wondering how they can contribute to the fight against cancer to do the same." - Rose Mark
How to order your Wedding Bonbonnieres
Give your wedding guests a unique and meaningful thank you gift, or remember loved ones who can't be there to celebrate your special day, by donating the money you would have spent on wedding bonbonnieres to Cancer Council Western Australia.
- For a minimum donation of $3 per guest, we will provide you with daffodil lapel pins and bonbonniere cards (to let your guests know of your kind donation) for each of your wedding guests.
- Please note: donations of less than $3 per guests are more than welcome, but the daffodil lapel pin will not be provided.
- The inside of the card reads: "Thank you. As a symbol of our love and commitment, we have chosen to make a donation to Cancer Council WA, as our way to say thank you for being with us on our wedding day."
