Fruity Friday is an annual campaign by World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF UK). Show your support by taking part at your office on any Friday in 2010. All you need to do is wear a yellow item of clothing and make a donation of £2 to support WCRF UK's cancer prevention research and education programmes.

Your step by step guide to Going Bananas on Friday

Step 1: Nominate someone to organise the fruity fun who will get everyone involved and rally support! Download your essential fundraising pack and other useful resources. Alternatively, request a fundraising pack to be sent to you.

Step 2: Display the campaign poster in a prominent position to let everyone know about Going Bananas. Don't forget to register your event with us so we know what banana-tastic things you have planned.

Step 3: Order yellow items from the fruity shop to help you Go Bananas. Collect £2, from everyone who takes part, using our collection box template and ask them to complete our sponsorship form as WCRF UK can claim back the tax on every sponsorship donation and receive an extra 56p on top of every £2 donated at no extra cost to you!
