Child Cancer Foundation

Child Cancer Foundation Supporting Kiwi kids with cancer and the people who love them. Text CHILD to 3457 for a $3 donation.

Every week in Aotearoa, three families are told the heartbreaking news that their child has cancer. A cancer diagnosis doesn’t just affect the child – all members of the whānau are impacted. For over 40 years, Child Cancer Foundation has been dedicated to supporting them every step of the way, helping them overcome challenges and maintain control of their lives. Each newly diagnosed family is conn

ected with a Family Support Coordinator, who is there to provide them with one-to-one support in the specific areas they need it. We need to raise $7 million each year to continue providing vital support to Kiwi kids with cancer and their families. We do not receive any direct government funding, so we rely on the generosity of our fellow Kiwis to support these children and their whānau through the toughest time in their lives. Go to childcancer.org.nz to find out more or learn how you can get involved.

Meet Denis. He’s a miniature pony, though he’s decided he prefers ‘donkey’ and honestly, we’re not going to argue with that. Denis belongs to Thor, one of our wonderful supporters who, after welcoming his first child, wanted to do more. So, he did what any reasonable person would do – bought a miniature pony. Denis will be joining family days, giving rides to the tamariki we support and their whānau, once he’s built a bit of confidence with the kids. Needless to say, we’re so happy he galloped his way to us! 🐎

✨ What a turnout, Christchurch! ✨

Thank you, Ōtautahi. With your kindness and generosity, this year’s Sparkle for Hope raised an incredible $312,263! 💖

It was an outstanding evening. There were cheers and tears for our family speakers, enthusiastic out-bidding in the live and silent auctions, and a fundraising result everyone in attendance in person and online should be proud of.

Every dollar helps provide vital support to tamariki with cancer and their families across the motu.

Huge thanks to our Principal Partner Scenic Hotel Group, Event Partner Yondi Foundation and our sponsors, and to everyone who donated, bid, bought raffle tickets and helped make the night shine. 🌟

Together, you’ve made a real difference for families facing childhood cancer.

Better than a century, in our books 🏏

Earlier this year, Weedons Cricket Club played their match in a special edition jersey designed by the club's young members, including Keira D’Arcy and her younger sister Evelyn. They raised funds leading up to and on match day, and sold the jerseys after the game for other families like the D’Arcys.

They also awarded the Foundation one of their special edition jerseys, which is now hanging proudly at our Christchurch Family Place.

A huge thank you to Jeremy Benton for putting on such a meaningful event, and to the D’Arcy family. Your passion is so inspiring 💙💙
