Regular Giving Club

We depend on individual supporters like you to provide us with the consistent support we need, twelve months a year. Regular monthly giving allows us to plan ahead with certainty and respond quickly to the needs of young people living with cancer.

By joining the monthly giving club you become a select group of New Zealanders who are supporting young people aged 13 to 24 who are fighting the greatest fight of their lives.

Donating by automatic payment is an easy and time saving way to support the work of CanTeen. Your chosen donation amount is simply transferred from your bank account as often as you wish. No more writing cheques or sending credit card details. And of course you can stop payments any time you like.

Sale of CanTeen Christmas Cards

The philosophy at CanTeen is that our young people believe in helping themselves and years ago they started designing and selling Christmas Cards to help raise much needed funds. This has now flourished into a major annual fundraising campaign for CanTeen.

Christmas cards sell for $16 per pack and funds raised support late effects research, support for the newly diagnosed young person, educational programmes and fun activities throughout New Zealand.

Buy a Bandanna

Bandannas are a concept that CanTeeners came up with themselves to promote their organisation. They are worn by members who have lost their hair while undergoing treatment, and by those who want to show their support.

The bandanna is a symbol of hope and inspiration with new designs created every year by talented CanTeeners, supporters and Ambassadors.

And you don't just have to wear it on your head to show your support - we have come up with 101 things you can do with a bandanna.

Bandannas sell for $5 each (includes postage and handling) in a range of colours and designs.

Show your support all year round for young people living with cancer by purchasing a bandanna online.

The bandanna is a symbol for CanTeen representing hope, courage and survival for an estimated 10-12,000 young people living with cancer in New Zealand.
