“Research feels like the front line - it's how we make real progress. It’s not just about hope; it’s about answers, outcomes, and ultimately changing the story for future patients”
Stu Munro   —   Fundraiser for Cancer Research Trust New Zealand

For more ideas, consider these:

  • Quiz night

    Host a themed quiz night at a local hall, school, or pub. Charge an entry fee, run raffles or auctions, and offer food and drink for additional fundraising.

  • Bake Sale

    A tried-and-true classic. Host it at a school, workplace, or market day with donated goods.

  • Garage Sale / Car Boot Sale

    Ask your community to donate pre-loved items or sell from their car boots in a central location. It’s sustainable, social, and profitable.

  • Community Movie Night

    Show a family-friendly film outdoors or in a hall. Sell tickets, popcorn, drinks, and blankets or hire bean bags for added revenue.

  • Charity Auction (Live or Silent)

    Auction off donated items or experiences (like local artwork or restaurant vouchers). Either a great add-on to a larger event, or run an online auction via Trade Me.

  • Give It Up for Research

    Give something up for a set time (coffee, sugar, alcohol, social media) and collect sponsorships. It’s low-cost, high-impact, and easy to do online.
