Lakeside Concert Charitable Trust chose the Child Cancer Foundation as the charity to fundraise for at the 2024 concert. Collection buckets and a fundraising page were available at the event.
Child Cancer Foundation is a New Zealand charity that provides invaluable support to children and their families on their cancer journey. By focusing on the whānau instead of the cancer, the foundation recognises that each family’s experience is unique, as is the support they need.
Child Cancer Foundation’s objective is to foster the care and support of children who have been diagnosed with cancer, their whanau, and primary caregivers. The foundation provides various services to achieve its objectives, including counselling, access to educational opportunities, personal development grants, and support groups such as the Whānau Connect Groups.
In 2022/23 alone, the foundation supported over 1,300 families in New Zealand by providing them access to the Beads of Courage® program, counselling services, and grocery shops worth over $133,000.
