7 Junie 2017 – Die Cuppa For CANSA-seisoen het amptelik op 7 Junie geopen met die bekendstelling van ‘n splinternuwe en gesonder opsie vir funksies. Die fondse wat in 2017 ingesamel word vir die #CuppaForCANSA -veldtog sal aangewend word vir KANSA se Sorgsentrums en spesifiek vir die versorging en ondersteuning wat KANSA bied aan almal wat deur kanker geraak word.
“Cuppa For CANSA” is ‘n prettige manier om broodnodige fondse in te samel wat KANSA in staat stel om in plaaslike gemeenskappe diens te doen. Die konsep van Cuppa kan aangepas word vir eindelose en vindingryke geleenthede en dit bied aan die gasvrou totale ‘artistieke beheer’. ‘n Cuppa-funksie kan klein of groot wees, dit kan aangebied word vir familie, vriende of kollegas en dit kan by enige plek gehou word. KANSA moedig gasvroue vanjaar aan om ‘n “gesonder opsie” te oorweeg. Tydens die funksie kan gesonde kos en drinkgoed aangebied word en resepte vir gesonde kos kan uitgeruil word,” sê KANSA se Hoof van Volhoubaarheid, Maria Scholtz.
Borge Maak Sorg- en Ondersteuningsprogramme Moontlik
“Ons is weereens baie dank verskuldig aan ons hoofborge, Shoprite en Checkers wat vanjaar weer die Cuppa-seisoen gaan borg. Soos in die verlede sal daar weer Cuppa-funksies in Shoprite en Checkers winkels aangebied word waar die publiek betrokke kan raak en die veldtog ondersteun. Glen Rooibos steun vir die tweede agtereenvolgende jaar ook die Cuppa-inisiatief. Shoprite, Checkers en Glen Rooibos het KANSA verlede jaar gehelp om meer as R4 miljoen in te samel. Dit is vennote soos hierdie wat dit vir ons moontlik maak om ons sorg- en ondersteuningprogramme in plaaslike gemeenskappe voort te sit,” voeg Scholtz by.
Cuppa ‘Gesonder Opsie’ Resep Kompetisie
Vir die 2017 Cuppa-seisoen loods KANSA ‘n “gesonder opsie” resep kompetisie. Gasvroue van Cuppa-funksies kan aan die kompetisie deelneem deur hul gesonder en alternatiewe resepte vir kolwyntjies (“cupcakes”) in te stuur. Pryse vir die lekkerste en gesondste kosresepte is op die spel. KANSA staan ‘n “gesonde leefstyl” voor en om gesond te lewe, moet jy slim en ingeligte keuses oor gesonde kos maak en dit wat jy eet en drink, geniet. Ons hoop van harte dat ons Cuppa-deelnemers ons sal ondersteun deur gesonde en alternatiewe keuses van geregte en drinkgoed aan te bied vir Cuppa-funksies,” sê Scholtz.
Vanjaar se Fokus
Die fokus vir vanjaar se Cuppa is om fondse in te samel en om bewustheid te kweek vir KANSA se Sorgsentrums. Ons het meer as 30 Sorgsentrums regoor Suid-Afrika. Hierdie sentrums bedien meer as 300 gemeenskappe en bereik meer as 92 000 kankerpasiënte en hul gesinne (statistieke van 1 April 2016 – 30 Maart 2017). Die SorgSentrums bied ‘n wye verskeidenheid van sorg- en ondersteuningsdienste wat die volgende insluit: siftingstoetse vir kanker, berading en ondersteuningsgroepe, opvoeding oor kanker deur middel van gesondheidsinligting, toesprake wat handel oor gesondheid en uitstallings, inligting oor KANSA Sorg Tuistes en TLC Tuistes, ens.
Enigeen kan ‘n Cuppa gasheer of gasvrou word. Kontak net jou plaaslike KANSA Sorgsentrum of maak gebruik van die handige wenke wat beskikbaar is die webwerf www.cuppa.org.za
“Vir vanjaar se Cuppa-veldtog het ons pragtige bekers om te koop vir R55 elk. Hierdie bekers is ‘n waardevolle herinnering wat jou altyd aan die Cuppa-seisoen en Cuppa-funksie van 2017 sal laat dink. Ons moedig jou aan om deel te wees van Cuppa 2017 – word ‘n gasheer of ‘n gasvrou van ‘n funksie of daag op as ‘n gas by enigeen van KANSA se Cuppa’s. Wees kreatief en innoverend en bied ‘n spesiale Cuppa aan,” voeg Scholtz by.

“We’re grateful to have our main partners, Shoprite and Checkers on-board once again for this Cuppa season. As with previous years, they will be having in-store Cuppas, where the public can get involved and support this campaign (#ActForChange). For the second year, Glen Rooibos is also joining the Cuppa initiative, and along with Shoprite and Checkers, helped us raise over R4 million last year alone. It’s because of partners like these, that we are able to continue our care and support programmes in local communities,” continues Scholtz.

KANSA en Glen Rooibostee maak dit Amptelik
21 June 2016 21 June 2016 Debbie @CANSA
14 Junie 2016 – Dit maak perfekste sin vir KANSA om saam te span met Unilever Glen Rooibostee – juis as gevolg van die uitgebreide en goeie navorsing oor die gesondheidsvoordele wat Rooibos bied.
KANSA het aangekondig dat Glen Rooibostee voortaan KANSA se amptelike verskaffer van rooibostee sal wees. Dit beteken dat Glen Rooibostee verskaf sal word vir KANSA se 30 Sorgsentra, wat 11 Sorgtuistes en ander fasiliteite insluit. Glen Rooibostee sal ook de amptelike verskaffer van vanjaar se Cuppa For CANSA-veldtog wees.
Die Vermindering van Risiko
KANSA se Hoof Uitvoerende Beampte, Elize Joubert, sê: “Ons weet dat die risiko van tussen 30 en 40% van kankers verminder kan word deur lewenstyl faktore, wat dieet en oefening insluit. KANSA erken amptelik dat rooibos ‘n middel is wat risiko kan verminder. Ons is gelukkig dat rooibos inheems is aan Suid-Afrika wat dit maklik toeganklik en bekostigbaar maak. ”
Die Bevordering van ‘n Gesonde Leefstyl
Glen Tee is al vir meer as 70 jaar ‘n gunsteling in Suid-Afrikaanse huishoudings. Unilever het die Glen Tee-produk uitgebrei en rooibostee ook onder dieselfde handelsnaam beskikbaar gestel. “Ons rooibostee pas natuurlik in ons visie vir dit waarvoor die Glen Tee handelsmerk sedert sy ontstaan en gedurende sy geskiedenis staan: om mense bymekaar te bring en om mense aan te moedig om mekaar se samesyn, geselskap en vreugde te deel en te geniet, ” sê Anthony Joseph, Unilever se Hoof van Bemarking en Kliëntediens. “Ons glo dat rooibostee met sy talle gesondheidsvoordele, perfek in lyn is met KANSA se deurlopende bevordering van ‘n gesonde leefstyl as ‘n manier om te help om die kankerrisiko te verminder.”
Meer Oor Rooibostee
Sommige van die fenomenale gesondheidsvoordele van rooibostee wat deur navorsing geïdentifiseer is, sluit die volgende in:
Die kragtige antioksidante wat rooibostee bevat veg teen vrye radikale wat kanker en hartsiektes veroorsaak.
Vrye radikale kan die DNA van selle beskadig, maar antioksidante verbind met die vrye radikale en strem en deaktiveer hulle voordat hulle enige verdere skade kan veroorsaak.
Rooibos verhoog ook die antioksidant status van die lewer en stimuleer die ensieme in die lewer om kankervormende stowwe (karsinogene) in die liggaam af te breek.
Die daaglikse inname van rooibos help om die liggaam te hidreer, dit kan help om cholesterolvlakke in die bloed te verlaag, dit beskerm die lewer, dit help om die vel gesond te hou en verlig talle selsiektes.

‘n Baie groot DANKIE aan rooi rose vir hulle jarelange ondersteuning aan KANSA en die geveg teen kanker.
Die rooi rose SPAR KANSA tee Pretoria ten bate van Die Kankervereniging van Suid Afrika was vanjaar weer eens ‘n treffer! Dit het plaasgevind by die Saint George Hotel met 160 tafels en 1600 gaste wat, die rekord bedrag van R386 000 is ingevorder is ten bate van KANSA.
Die tema was “VARS”! Die hart van die geselligheid is die viering van ‘n nuwe begin vir baie kankeroorwinnaars en hul families. Die KANSA-gesellighede vind plaas gedurende die lente – wat ook ‘n tyd van ‘n nuwe, vars begin is. 2015 is die jaar om bietjie groener te gaan in ons leefstyl, om inspirasie te vind by ons familie en natuur, of dit platteland, seekant of stadslewe is.
Die Kankervereniging is baie trots om met rooi rose, SPAR en die ander borge geassosieer te word. Dankie aan rooi rose, Spar, Club Med, Air Mauritius, Old Mutual, Ceres, Lapa Uitgewers, Justine, Pink Lady Apples en nog vele ander borge.
KANSA is baie dankbaar vir die gasvrouens en gashere met al die moeite wat hulle gedoen het met die dek van die tafels. Hierdie persone wy baie van hul tyd daaraan om die Kankervereniging passievol te ondersteun.
Dankie ook aan die 1600 gaste wie daar was om die geleentheid te vier. Dankie vir Suné van Rooi Rose en haar span en ook aan die vrywilligers wie so hard gewerk het.
Riaan Gruywagen was seremoniemeester, terwyl Martie Pansegrouw, redakteur van rooi rose, Elize Joubert, Hoof Uitvoerende Beampte KANSA, Jerome Jacobs van SPAR sprekers was. Elma Postma, Sophia Kapp, Bertha le Roux en Julie Steynberg, Difference Makers Int. San Diego S.A was gassprekers. Elvis se seun en ook Oosterlig skool se sanggroep het almal vermaak met hul musiek.
Almal was dit eens dit was ‘n onvergeetlike geleentheid! Dankie vir almal se ondersteuning om kanker te beveg.
This past Saturday rooi rose magazine hosted another lovely‪ #‎KANSAtee‬ for CANSA Cape Metro, Boland and Overberg in Stellenbosch!
rooi rose se redakteur, Martie Pansegrouw het genoem: ‘Sommige hier is dankbaar, ander is bekommerd, ander is ONBEWUS. Dis hoekom rooi rose CANSA ondersteun – sodat meer mense bewus gemaak word.
Almal was diep geraak toe Martie gevra het dat al die kankeroorwinnaars moet opstaan en baie sterkte toegewens het.
Die geliefde Iris Bester het haar kankerreis met ons gedeel. Sy het ook ‘n pragtige gedig geskryf en belangrike boodskappe was: ‘Vertrou jou gut en maak seker!’ en ‘Ek besef ek moet elke ondervinding beleef en leef.’
‘n Spesiale dank gaan aan al die gasvrouens – julle het soveel moeite gedoen met liefde en entoesiasme! Sonder julle ondersteuning sal die dag nie ‘n sukses kan wees nie. Lees gerus die pragtige boodskap van een van ons gasvrouens in die foto’s.
‘n Groot dankie gaan ook aan al ons rooi rose #KANSATEE borge. Julle maak ons hande sterker.
Jak de Priester het ook almal vermaak met sy pragtige sang en kwinkslae!
Baie dankie aan elkeen wie dit bygewoon het en natuurlik aan rooi rose! ‘n Groot tjek van R91 000 is aan CANSA oorhandig. Saam beveg ons kanker!
Shoprite Checkers Raises Over R1 Million to Fight Cancer
27 October 2015 4 November 2015 Debbie @CANSA
October 2015: CANSA and Shoprite Checkers have a long standing relationship that stretches over more than a decade. Every year, as part of their support for the Cuppa for CANSA campaign, the retailer hosts in-store Cuppa events for customers.
This year saw a total of R1 059 550 raised, the highest sum in the history of the partnership and one third of the total funds for the campaign.
CANSA plays an important role in supporting people affected by cancer, educating the public around cancer and conducting cancer risk reduction research. With more than 100 000 South Africans diagnosed with cancer every year Shoprite Checkers believes this partnership makes a difference to the communities they operate in by supporting individuals and families with their fight against cancer.
Speaking about the campaign Maria Scholtz, Head of Sustainability at CANSA, said: “This unique partnership between Shoprite Checkers and CANSA plays a pivotal role in the success of the yearly Cuppa for CANSA campaign and we’re grateful for the support towards CANSA projects.”
In South Africa, breast cancer is the most common cancer among women and as part of Breast Cancer Awareness Month the retailer will also be deploying CANSA Mobile Clinics at selected stores between 7 October and 6 November 2015 nationally. These mobile clinics are equipped to offer a variety of services to their customers free of charge and will assist men and women in early cancer detection.
Clinical Breast Examinations and how to do self-breast examinations
How to do testicular self-examinations to reduce the risk of testicular cancer
Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) – a finger-prick blood test to help detect prostate abnormalities
Pap smears – screening test for early diagnosis of cervical cancer
Lifestyle risk assessments to assess your cancer risk
Blood pressure and glucose testing
Height and weight measurement for Body Mass Index to advise on maintaining a healthy weight
Information on the cancer warning signs for adults and children
CANSA’s CEO, Elize Joubert, says that early detection is important to help with more effective treatment and to have a better chance of recovering from cancer. Ignorance and late diagnosis of cancer can lead to a poor response to treatment and a poor diagnosis. It’s also important to know what screening options are available to you, especially if you have a family history of cancer.
