How your fundraising and donations make a difference
The funds raised through Dry July will help improve the comfort, care and wellbeing of New Zealanders affected by cancer. We're proudly supporting Cancer Support NZ (home of Look Good Feel Better), Prostate Cancer Foundation NZ and Cancer Rehabilitation Foundation (PINC & STEEL).
Whether it's access to wellbeing workshops or exercise and rehabilitation programs, all funds raised for Dry July New Zealand stay in New Zealand to benefit cancer patients, their families and carers.
