In memory of Val Kilmer and to mark World Head and Neck Cancer Day
2025, join us for a night of Top Gun (1986) at the iconic Hollywood
cinema in Avondale! This event is brought to you by Head and Neck
Cancer Foundation Aotearoa and Head & Neck Cancer Support
Aotearoa.Ticket price includes film entry + one raffle ticket per
person. Come along from 6.30pm for pre-film mingling, with drinks and
snacks available to purchase from the Hollywood bar. The film will
start at 7.15pm with a short welcome and introduction from our two
charities.
Head and neck cancer is the sixth most common cancer type globally,
it's on the rise and it's underfunded. Treatment options are harsh,
often leaving lifelong difficulties with eating, swallowing and
speaking - to name but a few. Despite this, head and neck cancer is
less well-known than other cancer types, resulting in late diagnosis,
worse prognosis and a lack of patient support.
The funds raised from this screening will go directly towards
supporting our core work: providing direct patient support and
resources; funding medical research to improve treatment options;
advocating for strategies which prevent these cancers, improve patient
outcomes and address health inequities; and raising awareness of this
under-profiled and life-threatening cancer type.
We look forward to enjoying some classic but timely aviation action
with you for World Head and Neck Cancer Day!
A huge thank you to Paramount Pictures, Hollywood cinema and
Fonterra's Doing Good Together fund for sponsoring this fundraiser.
