Zonta Yellow Rose Run

Following the major success of our previous Zonta Runs, we invite you to join us once again for a day of fun, community and fundraising - this year in support of the Ovarian Cancer Foundation NZ.


Ovarian cancer can affect women at any age, and raising awareness of its symptoms and the importance of early detection is vital. The Ovarian Cancer Foundation supports women and their families affected by ovarian cancer and works to improve awareness and outcomes.

Since 2019, the four Zonta International Clubs of Christchurch have united to organise an annual Advocacy and Fundraising event in support of our District Project each biennium.

Over the years, our Zonta Runs have raised thousands of dollars for important causes, including PADA, Grandparents Raising Grandchildren, Foster Hope and currently Ovarian Cancer Foundation.

We are proud of the difference these fundraising efforts have made and are excited to continue this tradition by supporting the Ovarian Cancer Foundation.

Support through sponsorship (with opportunities starting at $250), joining us for the Walk/Run event, participating in a virtual walk/run in your own town or city, or simply donating to our cause.

Thank you for helping us build a better world for women and girls. Together, we can achieve far more than we can alone. Your support makes a significant difference and is greatly appreciated.

The Ovarian Cancer Foundation New Zealand works to improve outcomes for women affected by ovarian cancer through awareness, support, advocacy and research.

They provide information and support to women and their families, helping them navigate their ovarian cancer journey.

Raising awareness is a vital part of their work, as ovarian cancer symptoms can be difficult to recognise. The Foundation works to improve understanding of the signs and symptoms and encourage earlier diagnosis. Through advocacy and research, the Foundation is working towards better access to care, improved treatments and, ultimately, finding a cure for ovarian cancer.

With Zonta's support, along with our participants, volunteers, sponsors and generous donors, we can help the Ovarian Cancer Foundation continue this important work - supporting women affected by ovarian cancer today and helping create a better future for women tomorrow.
