ABOUT the campaign


Join the Shave or Dye club!

Shave or Dye raises funds for free cancer support services for patients and their families across the country. Donations help fund our Daffodil Support Centres, Night Nursing, and much more. 

Each year, thousands of participants get their friends and family to sponsor them to shave or dye their hair. By shaving, dying, or refreshing your hair, you are funding expert cancer nurses, groundbreaking cancer researchers and a range of vital services to help people navigate cancer. Without your support none of this would be possible.

YOUR IMPACT

Your efforts make a huge impact!

The Irish Cancer Society typically receives only 5% of its income from the government, so it's thanks to your generosity than we can continue to provide vital free services and support to ensure nobody in Ireland faces cancer alone.
