NET Cancer Day is held every year on the10th of November, created to increase awareness of Neuroendocrine (NET) cancers and to provide a voice to the global NET community for improved diagnostics, treatments, information, care and research.
"Let's NET Together" is your very own awareness lunch, pot-luck dinner, afternoon tea, picnic, BBQ or other type of gathering of your choice. It aims to draw attention to neuroendocrine cancer on NET Cancer Day amongst your friends and whānau. Donations will help NECNZ continue our work in advocacy, research, education and patient support.
-
When? The weekend of 9-10 November, at a time that suits you
-
Where? At your home, in a park, workplace, club or other suitable location
-
Why? Awareness & education amongst your own friends and whānau, fundraising for NECNZ
Neuroendocrine tumours can vastly differ from person to person and your personal story will be very important to those in your tight and wider circle.
How?
-
Plan: Decide on when, where and how you will host your NET-together, who you'll invite and what your get-together involves.
-
Invite: Whether it by text, phone call, email or social media – invite those you want to attend. Feel free to use the invitation template to create your own personalised invite that you can send out to your guests,
-
Host: During your NET-together, allocate some time to share the goal of NET Cancer Day & what it means to you. Share your story, what neuroendocrine cancer is, and where they can learn more about NETs. We have information booklets that we can send to you to have available for your guests.
-
Check out our 'How to Host' guide (below) for other ideas for your get-together.
-
Ask for donations: NECNZ is a small charity driven by the needs of our patient community, but we receive no government funding. We rely on the generosity of our community. You could:
-
Collect koha/donations from your guests or share the QR code with them to donate directly
-
Put together a raffle of items donated by local businesse that your guests can buy tickets for. Donate the proceeds to NECNZ
-
Hold a bingo/quiz/game night and ask guests to make a donation to play.
-
Set up a personal fundraising page for your event to collect online donations. (We can help with this!)
-
Every dollar counts and will help NECNZ continue our work in advocacy, research, education and patient support.

Comment (optional)
Fundraising and donations for NECNZ is a significant and impactful way to support those in Aotearoa affected by NETs. Here are some reasons why it's important:
-
Raise Awareness: Fundraising helps amplify the message, educating the public and healthcare professionals about the symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment options for NETs.
-
Allows us to support patients and whanau by providing resources, support groups, and access to expert care.
-
Contributes to research efforts that can lead to better outcomes and potentially new therapies for those affected by NETs.
-
Fundraising helps NECNZ implement programmes that promote early detection and education, potentially saving lives.
-
Donations can help NECNZ to better advocate for improved healthcare policies and practices, ensuring that patients with NETs receive the best possible care and support throughout their treatment journey.
