Daphne Cancer Care Trust Silent Auction

Daphne Cancer Care Trust (DCCT) is delighted to announce our inaugural High Tea Fundraiser and Online Silent Auction. This special event is not just a delightful afternoon of tea and treats; it’s a vital opportunity to support Taranaki cancer patients facing financial hardships during their treatment journey.

Your participation can help us meet our goal of raising $10,000, enabling us to offer timely assistance to those who need it most. By placing a bid or securing a ticket, you’re not just purchasing an item—you’re directly contributing to cover important needs such as groceries, petrol & transportation, wigs and more. Your generosity will enable DCCT to respond quickly to urgent needs, providing financial support when it matters most.

We would love for you and your friends to join us in person at our High Tea event for an afternoon filled with delicious bites, inspiring stories, and the opportunity to bid on items that in turn will provide funds to make a positive change in a cancer patient's journey. If you can’t attend in person, no problem! You can still participate in the online silent auction and make a difference from anywhere.

Together, let’s raise our teacups to hope, resilience, and the power of community. Thank you for standing with us as we support those on the cancer journey. Your bid could be the lifeline someone desperately needs.

Bid with Purpose. Help to change Lives.

Inspired by her own experience with cancer, first with her husband’s brain tumor and then with her own battle with ovarian cancer, Karen Morine became acutely aware of the extra financial burdens cancer patients face during treatment. While Karen was able to assist a few individuals facing hardship, she soon recognised the need to extend help to many more. This realisation motivated her to establish the Daphne Cancer Care Trust (DCCT) Fund in conjunction with the Taranaki Foundation.

No one chooses to receive a cancer diagnosis, and for many, the journey through cancer is overwhelming. With your help the DCCT Fund hopes to bring a beautiful fragrance of care and relief to those that need support at a very challenging time. Your support directly contributes to easing the financial impact of cancer for Taranaki patients living on a low income.
