Prostate cancer is the most diagnosed cancer in Aotearoa New Zealand and the second leading cause of cancer related death in men.
Chances are, someone in your workplace (or someone they care about) has been affected.
This Blue September, why not do a call-out to your team, and tackle prostate cancer together?
You can get active, host an event or fundraise your own way. Whatever you do, your workplace challenge will help raise life-saving funds for prostate cancer research, support services and awareness.
Why get involved?
Get moving, feel good
Taking on a challenge as a team will up the energy levels and support mental wellbeing in your workplace – all while supporting blokes with prostate cancer and their families.
Lift team spirit
When people come together behind a shared goal, magic happens. Expect big smiles, new connections and a sense of pride to bloom.
Show what you stand for
Getting behind Blue September shows your team cares about something bigger. It’s a great way to live your values – and show your workplace has heart.
Encourage early detection
By raising awareness, you might inspire someone in your team (or someone they love) to get tested early. And that may just save a life.

To see if matched giving is available at your workplace, check with HR, your social impact team, or even your CEO. If it’s not already in place, it’s always worth asking!
