Registrations for 2025 are now open

Every 22 minutes, another New Zealander hears the devastating news they have cancer. In July alone, more than 2,200 Kiwis will be diagnosed.

That’s why we Dry July.

Your mum, dad, sister, friend, colleague, aunty, uncle – every New Zealander knows someone affected by cancer. This year, we’re asking you to show up for them and go alcohol-free for 31 days this July to raise money for life-changing cancer care across New Zealand.

“The emotional and mental toll of cancer often goes unseen, despite most New Zealanders being directly or indirectly impacted,” says Veronica Shale, Dry July NZ Campaign Director. “That’s why it’s important we show up, not just in words, but in action.”
