PAC to the Future: Our mission is a cancer-free future!

Great Scott! PAC to the Future is officially hitting the track for the 2026 Rockhampton Relay for Life, and as CQU's People and Culture  (PAC) team, we're inviting you to jump in the DeLorean with us as we race toward a brighter tomorrow.

Relay for Life is a fun and meaningful community event that raises vital funds for Cancer Council’s research, prevention, and support services. It’s also a chance for our community to celebrate survivors, support carers, and honour loved ones lost—all while joining thousands of Australians working together for a cancer‑free future.

By joining our team—whether you're walking, fundraising, cheering, or showing up in fluffy slippers—you’re helping power life‑changing support services, advocacy, prevention work, and vital research across Australia. Every step and every donation brings us one stride closer to a cancer‑free future.

Support the team. Walk a lap. Donate. Share our page. Or simply get involved in our upcoming fundraising fun.

Let’s go PAC to the Future and make every moment count on our journey toward a world without cancer.

Where we’re going… we don’t need roads.

When we step together, we make strides.

Cancer impacts so many of us, and this year, we’re fighting back. Our team are taking on Relay For Life to raise vital funds for people impacted by cancer.

In Australia, around 134,000 people are diagnosed with cancer every year. They could be our loved ones, our colleagues, or even ourselves. But we’re determined to make sure more people (and their families!) get the support they need.

To get there, our team are going the distance. We’re taking on the laps so Cancer Council can offer support services to families through one of the most difficult times of their lives.

But like us, your support goes far. Your donation can tackle every aspect of every cancer. Together, we can fund life-changing cancer research, prevention and advocacy — and make powerful strides against cancer in our communities.

United, we are stronger than cancer. Please donate to our team today and help support a cancer free future. Thank you!
