About The Oesophageal Cancer Fund
Established in 2001 the Oesophageal Cancer Fund (OCF) is a registered charity and voluntary organisation, and is the national voice representing oesophageal cancer in Ireland.
Governed by a board of trustees and supported by the patronage of golfer Padraig Harrington,
we rely 100% on the support of our loyal patrons and volunteers. Our aim is to raise awareness of the symptoms related to oesophageal cancer, provide funding for research into the disease and help improve the outcomes for people dealing with this cancer.
Our main fundraising event is our annual Lollipop Day. A pink lollipop is the emblem for our campaign and highlights the most common symptom of suspicion of oesophageal cancer - difficulty swallowing.
Thousands of volunteers sell lollipops throughout Ireland on Lollipop Day to help us raise funds
for vital research and promote awareness of the symptoms of oesophageal cancer.
We welcome support from people and organisations who would like to fundraise or
raise awareness of the symptoms of oesophageal cancer on Lollipop Day or throughout the year on our behalf.
