More than $25,000 dollars was raised at our recent Charity Hospital Christmas Ball, held at Maugers Innovation Park in Templeton on Friday 5 December. Our guests enjoyed a beautiful dinner and dance with an amazing array of auction prizes up for grabs including a Captain’s Run with the Crusaders and a behind the scenes tour of Shortland Street with Michael Galvin (aka Dr Warner). Many companies purchased tables for their Christmas do and we are very grateful for all the support from our many sponsors including Canstaff, Event Professionals and Maugers.

The Canterbury Charity Hospital display at the recent GP’s conference at Wigram in Christchurch was a popular stop for attendees. GPs had the opportunity to complete a survey about “unmet need” and went into the draw to win a coffee machine.
