CommBank Staff Foundation membership included in your registration
Can4Cancer is a program of the CommBank Staff Foundation. Whilst most Can4Cancer participants are already members of the Foundation, if you are not already a member you will be auto enrolled as part of your registration.
As a member of the Foundation, you will be able to further your contribution to the community through other Foundation programs, such as nominating organisations for a $10,000 Community Grant, support the work of the Clown Doctors and assisting communities impacted by natural disasters.
From November, a $5 donation will be made from your pre-tax pay, which will be matched by the Bank.
Of course, if you would like to opt out of Foundation membership, you will be able to and this does not impact your participation in Can4Cancer. Please email any questions to can4cancer@cba.com.au

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I collect Fundraising?
Registration and fundraising for Can4Cancer will be through the Can4Cancer Grassrootz website. On registration, you will receive a personalised and shareable fundraising page which can be easily personalised with your photo and your personal ‘Why’ story.
You can post training updates and thank your donors directly, making reaching your fundraising target easy. Remember - you’re not asking for money for yourself, you’re asking for support in finding a cure for cancer.
Can I create or join a fundraising team?
Yes. If you are wanting to put on fundraising events with your friends, then 'Teams’ are the best way to go to sharing in group fundraising!
To form a team:
Think up a team name that is unique and resonates with your group.
Nominate a team leader.
Have the team leader register first and select the option to ‘Create a Team’ during the registration process.
Once the team is created, the rest of the team can register and select ‘Join a Team’ to join their own team.
If you would prefer to sign up and participate as an individual, that is perfectly OK too.
If you wish to create or join a team after you have registered, simply log in to your fundraising page and click on ‘Join or Create a team’ on the left hand side of your page.
