We focus on the issues and challenges you face as a young adult on your cancer journey

The Warwick Foundation is the first and only Non-Profit Charitable Organisation in Australia focusing on supporting young adults (18-40 years) on their cancer journey.

The reality is young adults (aged 18-40+/-) are the fastest growing demographic among the over 10 million new cancer diagnoses each year worldwide. In fact, cancer is the leading disease killer of young adults. And while there are hundreds of cancer-related organisations in existence today, there are almost none that are strictly focused on meeting the unique needs and issues faced by young adults on their cancer journey.

Date: Friday 9th October

Venue: The Peninsula, Central Pier, Docklands Melbourne

Time: 7pm - late

Ticket price: $130 per person - includes 3 course meal and drinks

After party venue: Allumbra (Central Pier)
