Every Child.
Every Chance.
Unlocking the Possibilities.
Transforming cancer care for Kiwi kids starts here.
Every year, 150 children in Aotearoa are diagnosed with cancer and three-quarters come through Starship.
But some therapies that are transforming survival rates overseas remain out of reach here, forcing families to make heartbreaking choices, travelling abroad for treatment that should be available at home.
For too many families, the difference between hope and heartbreak comes down to opportunity.
Your support at the Star Gala can change that.
Through your generosity, we will establish New Zealand’s first paediatric cell and gene therapy programme, bringing a revolutionary model of care home. Your support will ensure more children can join life-saving clinical trials here in New Zealand, and access smarter, kinder, and more effective treatments such as CAR-T, which use a child’s own immune system to destroy cancer cells.
Together, we will build the foundation for the future of children’s cancer treatment, one that delivers better outcomes, fewer side effects, and hope that lasts a lifetime.
This is a once-in-a-generation chance to close the gap, giving every child with cancer the very best chance to survive and thrive.
