The charity was set up in Poole in 2012 and is one of the club’s official charities for 2017.
Cherries chairman Jeff Mostyn is also a patron of the charity.

DCCF trustee Anne Rowland, said: “Bournemouth’s support is invaluable to us as a small, local charity in raising awareness of the struggles people can face while undergoing cancer treatment.
“Jack and Benik have also kindly signed their shirts and donated them to DCCF to auction off.
“We hope Cherries fans will also join the players in supporting us, by staging their own fundraising events for DCCF in 2017.“
World Cancer Day is on February 4, 2017.
