Ceres Life and Barwon Health Foundation are spreading the love—literally

words by staff writer

Fashion meets fundraising once again with the return of a local favourite—the 2025 Love Tee collection, brought to life by the powerhouse team-up of Ceres Life and the Barwon Health Foundation.

Trust us, this drop isn’t just stylish—it’s doing serious good.

The latest fundraiser launched last Tuesday 8 April via www.cereslife.com, with 100% of proceeds going directly to supporting the world-class treatment and care at Barwon Health’s Andrew Love Cancer Centre and cancer services. That’s right—every tee and cap sold helps make a difference.

This year’s collection keeps the message simple and heartfelt: love. Whether you say it as Amore, Cinta, Liebe, or just plain old Love, the collection is a beautiful nod to the different ways we connect and care for each other.

Following the sell-out success of the first collection in 2024, Ceres Life is back with even more to love—literally.

“2024 saw the first ever Ceres Life X Barwon Health Foundation Love Tee collection sell out in just three weeks, we were overwhelmed by the support shown! As a result we were able to donate $20,000 to Barwon Health Foundation towards cancer related equipment and services at Barwon Health’s Andrew Love Cancer Centre,” said Ceres Life General Manager Stephanie Nolan.
“This year we’re continuing to celebrate the love that our amazing medical community provide to their patients every day. We’ve grown the collection and have set ourselves the goal to raise $50,000 towards this important cause.”

The 2025 drop features three trending colourways, plus a matching Love cap in two shades. So if you’re keen to rock some purpose-driven style, now’s the time to jump in.

Barwon Health Foundation’s Executive Director, Zoe Waters, is just as pumped about round two of this collab.

“Ceres Life put the community at the heart of all they do. It is such a thrill to see our first collaboration tees worn out the community, in our cancer centre, around the halls of our local hospital and even spotted on the Today Show. Our second collaboration will further enhance cancer care right here in Greater Geelong – now that is fashion for a local cause,” she said.

Among the voices behind the campaign is ambassador Cynthia Tresidder, who’s encouraging everyone to “give love” in the lead-up to Mother’s Day. Her story is one of strength, hope and full-circle kindness.

Back in 2016, Cynthia’s world changed with a surprise myeloma diagnosis after a routine blood test. What followed was a rollercoaster ride supported by the team at the Andrew Love Cancer Centre.

She described the care she received as nothing short of incredible—and now, in remission, she’s giving back.
