The Child Cancer Foundation is calling for volunteers to help with its street collection on Friday and Saturday, March 8 and 9.
The street appeal is the foundation’s biggest fundraising event of the year. “Every week this year, three Kiwi families will be told the heartbreaking news that their child has cancer,” foundation chief executive Monica Briggs says.
“We don’t receive any direct government funding, so these families rely on the generosity of their fellow Kiwis to receive the vital emotional and practical support they need during the toughest time in their lives.”
The foundation is currently supporting around 1100 families nationwide. Street appeal volunteers are asked to give just two hours of their time to help.
