You may have noticed something new flying around on our communications lately, and that is CanToo’s new logo !
Since 2005, CanToo has delivered professionally coached training programs that allow participants to set themselves fitness challenges and has supported over 21,000 people in achieving goals they didn’t think possible. All this while raising over $33 million for the most innovative early career cancer researchers in Australia that may not otherwise have received the funding they deserve. Seeing that our CanToo Community is always growing, evolving and changing for the better, it was time to have a little makeover.
We are so excited to start the New Year by sharing CanToo’s new logo with our wonderful CanToo Community. The CanToo name hasn’t changed but our new tagline ‘Challenge Yourself, Challenge Cancer’ emphasises the dual mission we are all so invested in, supporting the community to become fitter and healthier and funding brilliant early career cancer researchers to continue making discoveries that could ultimately save lives.
I’m sure you’ve also noticed our new mascot, The Toucan. Why a toucan I hear you ask? Aside from the playful twist on the word Toucan with CanToo, it may surprise you to know that our new mascot shares many common values with our CanToo-ers. Toucans are social creatures with a sense of community and are associated with luck, joy and happiness. They are also determined to overcome challenging obstacles which, makes them strong and inspirational to others. All these characteristics align beautifully with the CanToo Community, making a toucan our perfect mascot! ?
Over the next few months, there will be times when the old logo might make an appearance during a CanToo goal event, training sessions and in digital imagery. This is because CanToo doesn’t want to be wasteful, especially if the items aren’t broken! So please bear with us during this transition period 
.
Exciting times ahead for all of us with CanToo!
