Impact of Bandannas
Over 35 years ago, the founding members of Canteen chose bandannas as a powerful symbol to represent the profound impact that cancer has on the lives of rangatahi in Aotearoa. Over the years, the bandanna has also transformed into an iconic and memorable symbol of Canteen and our vital work.
Throughout the years, our bandannas, initially chosen by rangatahi, have been designed by Canteen ambassadors, partners, and rangatahi themselves, for our members and supporters alike. They represent the ethos that guides Canteen's work.
We are a member-led organisation, and our bandannas are a physical representation of this.
