Canteen Aotearoa is proud to be the charity partner for the Fulton Hogan Mount Festival of Multisport for the second year running!
Every day, Canteen supports rangatahi (young people) impacted by cancer – whether through their own diagnosis, cancer in their whānau, or grief and loss. Our free, wraparound support helps with the long-term emotional and social wellbeing of rangatahi, through counselling, peer events, therapeutic programmes, camps, leadership skills, development grants, and career guidance.
With no direct government funding, events like this are vital to help ensure rangatahi never have to face cancer alone.
This year, we’re putting our own team on the course — racing to raise funds so rangatahi can keep getting the help they need, when they need it most.
Meet Team Canteen!
