Decembeard is a hair-raising fundraiser held during the month of December. Men are encouraged to grow a beard in the final month of the year to raise awareness and much needed funds for bowel cancer. Bowel cancer is the third most common type of newly diagnosed cancer in Australia.

15,253 Australians are diagnosed with bowel cancer each year, including 1,531 (10%) people under the age of 50.

To get involved, grow a beard or some chin stubble and promote your facial hair to raise awareness and funds for Australia’s second biggest cancer killer – bowel cancer. Women and children are also encouraged to take part by making or faking a beard and encouraging the men in their lives to find out about bowel cancer and grow a beard for Decembeard!

Decembeard’s goal is to have a lasting impact on our health future – where no one dies of bowel cancer and all those diagnosed receive the support they need.
