polytec’s Ongoing Support of the McGrath Foundation: 20 Years of Care, Now for All Cancers

polytec’s Ongoing Support of the McGrath Foundation: 20 Years of Care, Now for All Cancers
This September marks an incredible milestone for the McGrath Foundation - 20 years of care.

What began as a mission to support individuals and families experiencing breast cancer has now expanded to provide care for all cancers. At polytec, we are proud to stand alongside the McGrath Foundation in this journey, helping to ensure that no one in Australia faces cancer without the support of a McGrath Cancer Care Nurse.

Our Partnership Since 2018

polytec first partnered with the McGrath Foundation in 2018 after searching for a charity partner that makes a direct and meaningful difference in people’s lives. As a proudly family Australian owned brand, we have always been passionate about giving back to the community.

Through the generosity of our team, customers, and valued business sponsors, polytec has hosted and supported numerous fundraising initiatives – from morning teas and information nights, to charity runs and race days. We also integrate support into our everyday business that encourage customers to contribute.

Since 2018, these efforts have raised an incredible $673,011.04 to date – funds that have gone directly toward placing McGrath Cancer Care Nurses in communities across Australia.

McGrath Cancer Care Nurses provide free physical, psychological, and emotional support to individuals and their families, guiding them through the challenges of diagnosis, treatment, and beyond. With around 1 in 2 Australians expected to be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime, the need for this support has never been greater.

“This is a huge result and something that polytec is extremely proud of. Partnering with the McGrath Foundation has positively impacted our business, our customer base, and most importantly, the lives of those who need care. It’s also opened many conversations with staff, suppliers and customers who have been personally affected by cancer,” comments by Christina Elvin, Head of polytec.

Looking Ahead: Supporting All Cancers

As the McGrath Foundation celebrates 20 years, their commitment has broadened to supporting people with any type of cancer – ensuring care is inclusive and accessible to all. At polytec, we’re proud to continue our support of this important mission and to work towards a future where every individual and family facing cancer has the care they deserve.

We extend a heartfelt thank you to our customers, business sponsors and community who make this possible. Together, we are helping to place more McGrath Cancer Care Nurses across Australia, bringing comfort and compassion to countless families.

Check out our incredible supporters who’ve helped achieve this massive milestone.
