Tees For A Cure 2026

TEES FOR A CURE: WHERE FASHION MEETS PURPOSE AT MILFORD CENTRE

Sometimes, the most powerful movements begin with something simple.

A Tee. A message. A moment.

Breast Cancer Cure is celebrating the 10th edition of Tees for a Cure with its first-ever pop-up store at Milford Centre.

From 1–3 May, this limited-edition collection will be available exclusively at the Milford pop-up, with all proceeds supporting breast cancer research in Aotearoa, New Zealand. Every tee sold helps fund Kiwi scientists working on earlier detection, better treatments, and ultimately a future without breast cancer.

Visit the pop-up to buy your tee and take it home the same day. Online orders will be available as pre-orders and delivered later.

Friday 1st May | 9:00am – 5:30pm

Saturday 2nd May | 9:00am – 5:30pm

18 Designers. One Cause.

Now in its 10th year, Tees for a Cure brings together top designers to create pieces that are more than just fashion – they represent hope and support for those affected by breast cancer.

PRICES:

T-shirts: $59
Long sleeve tees: $69
Hoodies & sweatshirts: $99

With over 3,700 New Zealanders diagnosed each year – and one woman diagnosed every three hours – the need for action is urgent. This campaign is about community, creativity, and making a difference together.

THE COLLECTION

This year’s campaign features 18 leading New Zealand designers, including Augustine, Carlson, Coop, Cooper, Curate, Federation, Hailwood, Karen Walker, Kathryn Wilson, Kiri Nathan, Moochi, Repertoire, Stella+Gemma, Storm, Superette, Trelise Cooper, Tuesday and Yvonne Bennetti.

The campaign is brought to life through photography by Holly Sarah Burgess, with styling by Dan Ahwa and model Erilyn Dagan from Red Eleven. It also features a diverse group of amazing New Zealanders, highlighting the shared goal of funding life-saving research.

WHY IT MATTERS

This is more than awareness – it’s action.

For 29 years, Breast Cancer Cure has funded vital research across New Zealand. Every pop-up purchase directly supports breakthroughs that could change lives.

Not everyone can attend a fundraiser, but everyone can wear a tee – and be part of funding a cure.
