Partnership
Benefits
As a partner, you’ll have the opportunity to showcase your commitment and align your brand with one of New Zealand’s most trusted charities.
We offer a range of partnership options tailored to your goals, including partnership opportunities, co-branded campaigns, with recognition through our digital platforms. Join us in making a lasting impact and let’s work together to bring better outcomes to families facing cancer.
Room Sponsorship
The Canterbury Cancer Centre provides a home away from home for individuals and families who must travel to Christchurch for life-saving cancer treatment. Your sponsorship can help ease the financial and emotional burden of a cancer diagnosis by ensuring that accommodation remains free of charge for those who need it most. By sponsoring a room, kitchen, lounge, or family apartment, your business or organisation will directly support thousands of families across the South Island. Your generosity will be acknowledged with naming rights to the sponsored space and recognition in the Centre’s foyer, as well as an annual impact report showing how your support has made a difference. Sponsorship options start from $7,500 + GST per year, with flexible payment terms available.
Local Heroes
Our Local Heroes programme has been created specifically for businesses that want to make an impact for their community. As a Local Hero, your contribution will be formally recognised, and you'll be provided with tools and resources that you can use within your business to show your support.
Event Sponsorship
At the Cancer Society, we are proud to stand alongside businesses and organisations that share our commitment to a cancer-free future. Our event sponsors play a vital role in helping us deliver essential services, raise awareness, and fund life-saving support for individuals and whānau across the South Island. By partnering with us, our sponsors are not just supporting an event — they’re investing in their community, their people, and a cause that touches every corner of our region. Together, we create meaningful moments, build awareness, and drive real change. We are deeply grateful for their generosity and shared vision of reducing the impact and incidence of cancer.
Vehicle Sponsorship
Every day, Cancer Society vehicles travel hundreds of kilometres across the South Island, ensuring people can access life-saving cancer treatment and support. By sponsoring a Cancer Society vehicle, your organisation becomes a visible force for good — helping to ease the burden of transport for patients and their whānau during one of the most challenging times of their lives. Your sponsorship directly fuels our mission, keeping our vehicles on the road and our support services within reach. In return, your brand is proudly displayed on the vehicle, showing your commitment to community wellbeing, and making a real difference, one journey at a time.
