The Cook for a Cure campaign is the centerpiece of our annual community outreach program. It provides a unique opportunity for individuals and organisations to connect with and get behind medical research in Australia through a project or health area which is meaningful to them.

In 2011 the inaugural Cook for a Cure campaign reached over eleven million people across Australia.

The Cook for a Cure campaign is a month long event based around friends, family and work colleagues gathering to share a meal to support their chosen health area, by selecting from a group of twelve projects currently underway in Australian research institutions. Hosts choose their medical research projects and invite guests to share a meal and make a donation using the online donation function on the Cook for a Cure website. Through our website and via these donations, participants will become more connected and engaged with the opportunity to build a community and share with friends.
