The Selwyn District Council and Waikirikiri Selwyn businesses have joined forces to raise funds for the cyclone-hit region with a charity auction on Friday, May 5.
The fundraiser will be part of a cocktail evening at Rossendale Winery with donated items up for auction. Proceeds will go to the Gisborne Mayoral Relief Fund.
From horse-trekking and luxury accommodation stays at Lake Coleridge, to a free business promotional photoshoot or taking to the sky with the Canterbury Gliding Club, a range of unique products and experiences will be on offer for bidders.
Gisborne mayor Rehette Stoltz will share a video message updating guests on the flood recovery work.
“It’s been fantastic to see the way Selwyn businesses are getting in behind this event, with more signing up as we go," Broughton said.
"As a community we know first-hand what a huge boost it is to have others supporting us in the long-haul recovery from this disaster. Now it’s our turn and it’s good to see how generous and creative Selwyn people have been in giving back and helping others."
The auction is the latest in a series of fundraisers throughout Selwyn to support the Gisborne District after Selwyn ‘adopted’ the community through the Local Government New Zealand Adopt-a-Community programme. The programme partners various Kiwi communities with areas hardest hit by Cyclone Gabrielle.
Gisborne has a long journey ahead to restore roads, bridges, power, and water infrastructure and to help displaced residents back into their homes.
Other fundraisers in Selwyn have included a donation drive at Selwyn Sounds last month, a fire brigade truck pull, and local schools pairing up with their counterparts in Gisborne.
Tickets for the Giving for Gisborne Charity Auction are available at www.Selwyn.govt.nz...

Losing two special people as a teenager left her lost and scraping by daily. But with the Foundation’s programmes; Kiwi Can, Stars and Project K, she found mentors who believed in her and taught her life skills, self-belief and the importance of asking for help.
Winning the Project K Excellence Award inspired her to work with the Foundation, which led to her becoming a Kiwi Can Leader. Jaleel hopes to continue working with the Foundation.
