Where does the money go?
Cancer is a sobering reality for too many New Zealanders and their whānau. Dry July raises vital funds to support the comfort, care, and wellbeing of those affected.
Every dollar stays in Aotearoa, helping patients, families, and carers across the country. We're proud to back Look Good Feel Better, Prostate Cancer Foundation NZ, and PINC & STEEL Cancer Rehabilitation New Zealand.
We're proudly supporting:
This is why we Dry July.
There’s nothing more sobering than the reality of cancer.
Felicity’s dad was just 64 when he was diagnosed. George’s mum was 69. For Desirae, it was her best friend Cath, diagnosed in her late 40s.
Every diagnosis is a reminder of why we choose to go dry.
