Child Cancer Foundation is calling for volunteers to lend a hand for its annual street collection, taking place on
Friday 15th and Saturday 16th March 2019, during Child Cancer Foundation Appeal Month.
Dedicated volunteers are urgently needed to donate their time and help raise vital funds to support more than 1,700
families’ nationwide in hospital, at home and in the community.
Robyn Kiddle, Chief Executive at Child Cancer Foundation explains: “Child Cancer Foundation receives no direct funding
from the government, and we rely on the generosity of New Zealanders to continue to support these children and their
families in need.”
“We are grateful to anyone who can spare a couple of hours to raise funds to help brave Kiwi kids and their families,
facing their cancer battle,” she continues. “There are collection sites nationwide and just a couple of hours out of
people’s days will make a huge difference.”
Schools or businesses can also “adopt” a collection site in their local area for one or both days and involve staff,
students and parents in this event.
People interested in volunteering as collectors can register at www.childcancer.org.nz or call 0800 424 453 to be connected with their local organiser.
