Apollo Festival is in support of Teenage Cancer Trust whose vision is a future where young people's lives don't stop because they have cancer. They make sure they are treated as young people first, cancer patients second and everything they do aims to improve their quality of life and chances of survival. Apollo have chosen Teenage Cancer Trust as their charity for 2013 because cancer has touched on someone’s life in one way or another and they wanted to make more people aware that it is not just an older generation that can be effected by cancer but also the younger generation whose lives have just begun but turned upside down because of cancer. They think the work and dedication of Teenage Cancer Trust is something they all felt highly about supporting and hope to raise as much aspossible.

Apollo Festival 2013 cannot just fund itself and raise money on ticket sales alone. They need the support from sponsors to help so that they can balance the books and raise as much money as possible for Teenage Cancer Trust.
