CANSA Crazy Tie Day
The Cancer Association of South Africa (CANSA) is launching a new interactive and demonstrative campaign to celebrate the importance of healthy lifestyles for men called ‘CANSA Crazy Tie Day’. It’s an awareness and fundraising initiative focussing on Men’s Health honouring fathers on Father’s Day (16 June). CANSA cherishes the importance of leading a balanced lifestyle and raising awareness amongst men.
By wearing CANSA’s Crazy Tie, men are tying the knot and showing their commitment towards their loved ones, while living a balanced life and demonstrating their investment in their own health and the health of their family. “We’re very excited to launch a new, interesting and innovative campaign for men to be aware of the importance of maintaining their health,” says Sue Janse van Rensburg, CANSA’s CEO.
She continues, “We encourage all to buy CANSA’s crazy tie for themselves, their father, grandfather, or brother. The aim is to wear the tie on Father’s Day to create awareness around Men’s Health. You can buy a special CANSA crazy tie for R100 at your local CANSA Care Centre or place your order at Anél Van den Berge by email. Or wear your own crazy or funky tie.”
CANSA Crazy Tie Day is about celebrating Father’s Day with a twist and with a knot in the tie. It places emphasis on fathers and their important role in building a healthy life and future for themselves and their loved ones. CANSA hopes to encourage men to make smart and informed choices by living a balanced lifestyle, doing regular exercise and going for regular cancer screening.
