Fruity Friday is an annual campaign by World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF UK). It’s easy to take part and make a difference – simply wear something yellow and make a donation of £2 to support WCRF UK's vital cancer prevention research and education programmes.

Three simple steps to Go Bananas

1. Promote your event
Write your organisations name, the date and donation amount (we suggest £2) on the campaign poster and display it to let everyone know about your dress down day. Download our essential fundraising pack and exclusive online resources.

Make sure to register your event with us so we know what banana-tastic things you have planned.

2. Find something yellow to wear
Order yellow items from the shop to help you all Go Bananas.

3. Go Bananas it’s Fruity Friday
Wear yellow and have fun. Collect everyone’s £2 donation using our collection box template and ask them to complete a 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!
