Thank you for considering supporting Sweet Louise by fundraising or donating in memory of someone important to you. We're grateful to everyone who supports us in this special way at what may be a difficult time.
If you would like to remember someone special, to pay tribute to them, and celebrate their life, there are many ways you can do this and help bring care and support to Kiwis with incurable breast cancer.
Whether you choose one of our suggestions below or design your own activity, we're here to help you find the option that best suits you, and the person you want to remember. If you would like to discuss this further, please call our team on 0800 793 385 or email [email protected]
Whether Sweet Louise helped your loved one, or it’s a cause close to your heart, we are so grateful for your support. It will be an honour to receive support in your loved one’s memory.
Create a tribute in memory of a loved one
Creating a tribute page in memory of a loved one is a special and meaningful way to honour their memory and raise funds to offer care and support for New Zealanders affected by breast cancer. It’s a chance to celebrate their life, and all they meant to you.
Your tribute page will be as unique as the person whose life it celebrates, with the opportunity to add photos and wording about your loved one. It only takes a few minutes to create your page. When you’re ready, you can then share your tribute page with friends and family and invite them to make a donation and share their memories online.
You can set up your tribute page online now, or get in touch and we can help you through this process – call us on 0800 793 385 or email us on [email protected]
Donate in memory
You can make a donation in memory of your loved one and bring care and support to Kiwis affected by incurable breast cancer and their families.
You will also have the option to send a Thinking of you e-card and write your personal message to a family member.
Organising a donation at a funeral or an event
Funeral collections, memorial and celebration of life events are very special and meaningful ways to pay tribute to those we love, gone but not forgotten. Our team is here to support you in remembering your loved one – you can call us on 0800 793 385 or send an email at [email protected]
You can either make your donation online or deposit your donation directly into Sweet Louise’s bank account: 12-3198-0032019-00. If donating into the bank account, please use your name as a reference and email [email protected] to let us know the details of your donation so we can send you a receipt.
Ordering materials for a funeral or event
We can send you Sweet Louise materials such as a collection box and leaflets ahead of your service or event. Please give us as much notice as possible so we can make sure we get material to you in time. Call us on 0800 793 385 or email us to place an order.
Donations in lieu of flowers
Some people ask for donations in lieu of flowers at a funeral or memorial service. You could either set up a tribute page (see above for more details on how to do this). Or direct your attendees to donate online via the Sweet Louise website.
