The Child Cancer Foundation believes that no child suffering from cancer, or their family, should ever feel alone. We provide ongoing practical, emotional and financial assistance to children, and their families, whose lives have been changed forever by this life threatening disease. We also support the health professionals that treat children with cancer and invest in research into the late effects of the disease.

Thousands of street collectors were out in force and hit the streets nationwide with their aqua buckets and supporters’ bead bracelets to raise money for brave children like Hana. Despite the current economic climate, New Zealanders gave generously to help us continue to support children and families facing the childhood cancer journey.

Collections kicked off around the country with the regions covered in a sea of Aqua Blue. Busy sites were covered with enthusiastic volunteers giving up a couple of hours of their time to make a difference.

They've got the Midas touch!'House of Gold' - a great success!

The Gillies Group recently embarked on an exciting project, 'House of Gold' with the aim of turning a new home in Upper Hutt, Wellington into funds for the Foundation.

Over the course of six weeks, a brand new Golden Home was built on a superb piece of land then later auctioned off with the net proceeds (of more than $100,000) going to support children with cancer and their families.

A fantastic family lunch and preview was put on by the Gillies Group in the week preceding the auction and included a special visit from the Vodafone Wellington Lions. A big thanks to the many individuals, businesses and groups who contributed to the House of Gold - from construction, to marketing, to auctioning the house and even filling it with house-warming gifts. What a fantastic campaign!
