Conference 2023 charity

Apiculture NZ Conference Committee is proud to be supporting Cure Kids this year through our Conference Charity Auction.

This auction will be held at the Gala Dinner on Friday 30 June 2023.

Cure Kids raises funds that enable New Zealand researchers to focus on their mahi: making big breakthroughs in children’s health, to help save, extend and improve the lives of our littlest New Zealanders.

The charity was established by Rotary in 1971 as the Child Health Research Foundation, and since then has invested more than $65 million in New Zealand research which has helped to shape and vastly improve the way children who live with serious diseases and health conditions are diagnosed and treated.

The group’s funding supports research into childhood cancers, inherited heart conditions, epilepsy, infectious diseases, cystic fibrosis, sudden unexpected death in infants (SUDI), stillbirth, burns as well as child and adolescent mental health – and many, many other areas of research.

Cure Kids is the largest charitable funder of child health research outside the government. They work hard to support the best research possible to make a measurable difference to the health and well-being of children in New Zealand. This is made possible by the continued generosity of individuals, businesses and community groups across our remarkable country.
