We Need YOU as a 2018 LFCT Christmas Elf


HO! HO! HO! Santa is rounding up Christmas Elves again for the Little Fighters Cancer Trust’s Christmas Elf Project!

Every year LFCT, with the help of all our volunteer Christmas Elves, collects and distributes toys and good cheer to over 2 000 Children with Cancer in Paediatric Oncology Wards and Day Clinics across South Africa. For many of these children, it is the only Christmas present that they will receive.

Each of these Little Fighters will receive an age and gender-appropriate gift (total value around R150-R200) as well as a snack-pack, Santa hat and Christmas cracker.

Apart from delivering gifts to the Paediatric Oncology Wards & Day Clinics, LFCT also gifts each of our Families with presents for the Child with Cancer as well as all siblings under 18 and also sends the Family a Festive Season Care Package, which consists of basic groceries, cleaning materials and personal hygiene products as well as some treats so that they too can enjoy the Festive Season without worrying about where their next meal will come from.

Please consider becoming a Little Fighters Cancer Trust Christmas Elf, and mobilising your friends, family, employers, churches, sports clubs, schools and crèches to help us make Christmas special for Children Fighting Cancer across South Africa!

We will send a full list of contents of snack-packs, ideas for presents and list of required grocery items to every LFCT Christmas Elf so that everyone knows exactly what is needed – the lists will also be published on social media so that donors also know what we need.

LFCT will also provide every LFCT Christmas Elf with an official, personalised LFCT Christmas Elf Poster that they can use wherever to help get donations in.

If you would like to volunteer as an LFCT Christmas Elf and get involved in collecting and acting as a drop-off point for toys and foodstuffs, please e-mail Billi on marketing@littlefighters.org.za and we will e-mail you an application form.

Financial contributions are most welcome, as we always need to top up product donations to ensure that we have sufficient presents and food for all our beneficiaries. Please mark all donations the reference “Xmas Elf” so that it goes directly to this project!

Corporate sponsorships are also welcome – The Little Fighters Cancer Trust is a registered NPO with PBO status. This affords private and corporate donors the taxation benefits as set out in Section 18A.

BEE score points are also accumulated.

About LFCT

CHILDHOOD CANCER and CHILDHOOD CANCER AWARENESS Little Fighters Cancer Trust is a non-profit Childhood Cancer support organisation that offers support and aid to Children with Cancer and their families. When a child is diagnosed with cancer it affects the whole family. One of the parents, usually the mother, must give up their job to care for the child and this creates financial problems for the family. In South Africa especially the majority of these families are not well-to-do; many of them are rural. A diagnosis of cancer can wipe out any family’s finances, let alone a poor family. The costs of special medications, special diets, hospital stays, transport to and from the hospital or clinic and accommodation and food costs for the mother who spends most of the time at her child’s bedside are astronomical. These are the people and problems that fall through the cracks, and these are the people that Little Fighters Cancer Trust has pledged to help in any way possible. LFCT takes a holistic approach to assisting the Children with Cancer and their Families, with the main aim to be the preservation of individual dignity and pride. Little Fighters Cancer Trust also focuses on promotion and advocacy of National Childhood Cancer Awareness in an effort to increase awareness of Early Warning Signs of Childhood Cancer. This would result in earlier diagnosis, giving the Child with Cancer more of a chance at Treatment and Survival. See "About" for more Background info
