Standing together for change
Every gift to our conference carries the story of someone who has faced cancer — a loved one remembered, a survivor celebrated, or a whānau honoured. By giving, you’re helping us bring Indigenous voices, research, advocacy, and lived experience together to drive meaningful change. Your koha strengthens our collective mission and ensures their story is carried forward with aroha and respect.
Manaaki Leadership
NZ$50,000
Honouring impact. Elevating voices. Changing futures.
Our Manaaki Leadership Partners make it possible for us to bring Indigenous cancer advocates, researchers, clinicians, patients, and whānau together to drive urgent and meaningful change. Your contribution represents deep commitment to equity and transformation within the cancer space.
As a Manaaki Leadership Partner, your gift can be made in memory or in celebration of someone who has faced cancer. Their story will be carried throughout the conference in a way that uplifts their mana — acknowledging their courage, their journey, and the people who walk alongside them.
This tier includes:
Prominent acknowledgement throughout the conference and post event conference report
A personalised tribute to a person, group or kaupapa you are honouring
Opportunities to connect directly with our kaupapa and leadership team
The knowledge that your support is enabling systemic change for generations to come
Whānau Supporter
NZ$5,000
Standing together in remembrance, hope, and action.
Our Whānau Supporters help ensure the conference remains accessible, inclusive, and grounded in the lived realities of our people.
You may dedicate your support to someone special — a loved one currently on their haerenga (journey) with cancer, a survivor, or someone you wish to remember with aroha. Their name and story will be acknowledged as part of our collective remembrance and celebration.
This tier includes:
Acknowledgement at the conference
A tribute to the person, group or kaupapa you are celebrating or remembering
Contribution to meaningful whānau-centred action
He Koha Aroha
NZ$50
Small gifts. Big meaning. Shared love.
He Koha Aroha gives everyone — no matter the amount — a way to honour someone affected by cancer and to stand with our community. This tier is about collective giving, where hundreds of small acts of aroha combine to create something powerful.
You can gift $5 in someone’s name, and their name will be woven into a shared tribute presented at the conference — a visual reminder of how many lives are touched by cancer, and how many people choose to stand together for change.
This is for anyone who wants to give from the heart, even in a small but meaningful way.
