Let's NET Together - NET Cancer Day

Let's NET Together for NET Cancer Day

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. 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.

Steps to hosting your NET Together:

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. Use the social media tile or 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. Print flyers to share or order information booklets that we can send to you to have available for your guests.

Koha/Donations:

If appropriate, politely ask for donations. NECNZ is a small charity driven by the needs of our patient 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 businesses 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.
