What a night to remember! 🌟🧡
Stars of Orange lit up the dance floor on 30 May at the Orange Function Centre, with 600 people coming together to cheer on 8 incredible local stars — and the result was nothing short of amazing. Together, you’ve raised an incredible $319,000+ for Cancer Council NSW! 🙌
From the first step to the final bow, every performance was driven by passion, courage and a shared commitment to make a difference. These funds will go directly towards life-saving cancer research, prevention programs, and vital local support services — helping ensure no one has to face cancer alone.
To the Stars — you were brave, brilliant and truly unforgettable. ✨
To the talented dance teachers and partners — thank you for your dedication and generosity in bringing this event to life. 💃🕺
And to the incredible community — whether you attended, donated, sponsored or supported behind the scenes — thank you.

Happy National Volunteer Week 💫

This week, we’re shining a light on two incredible people who give so much of themselves to Cancer Council NSW

From event nights and morning teas to fundraising, behind-the-scenes support, encouragement and community connection; volunteers like April Young and Ann Grimshaw help make everything we do across Newcastle and The Hunter, possible.

The girls are currently helping us prepare for Stars of the Hunter and are very familiar faces to our STARS of Newcastle community, having been involved since the campaign began.

Their time, energy and heart help us support people impacted by cancer while bringing the Newcastle and Hunter communities together for purpose.

During National Volunteer Week, we want to say thank you to all of our amazing and dedicated volunteers helping us tackle cancer.

Thank you for every hour, every helping hand and every moment of care. We truly couldn’t do what we do without you. 💛

This National Volunteer Week (18–24 May 2026), we’re proud to celebrate and say a heartfelt thank you to our incredible 633 volunteers at Cancer Council NSW 💛

From providing compassionate support through Cancer Connect and Transport to Treatment, to helping deliver vital fundraising events like Relay for Life, our volunteers are at the heart of everything we do. You give your time, skills and kindness to ensure people affected by cancer feel supported, informed and never alone—and we are deeply grateful.

Because of you, we can continue to support families, fund life-saving research and work towards a cancer-free future. It truly is all of us against cancer—and we couldn’t do it without you. 💛

Inspired by this year’s theme, Your Year to Volunteer, there’s never been a better time to get involved in a way that works for you. Join us and make a meaningful difference: https://www.cancercouncil.com.au/get-involved/volunteer-with-us/

This Saturday, 12 members of the Nowra community will take to the dance floor for Stars of Nowra to support those impacted by cancer and help fund vital research, prevention, and support services.
Each star and dance teacher has committed countless hours to learning their routines, pushing outside their comfort zones, and dancing for something far bigger than themselves. Whether they’re dancing in memory of a loved one, honouring someone currently facing cancer, or simply wanting to make a difference — we’re right behind them. You’ve got this! 🌟
Let’s come together, show our support, and help raise funds to support those affected by cancer. 💛

We believe no one should face cancer alone.💛

It's estimated around 169,000 Australians will be diagnosed with cancer this year - and many of these people (and their loved ones) will need support.

Everyone should be able to access the best cancer support and information available, whatever their background, postcode or cancer type.
