Handbag fundraiser

The Team from Red Cross - Hastings Service Centre

During the month of September the Walkie Talkies took part in Red Cross Journey, a fundraiser for New Zealand Red Cross where they walked 10,000 steps a day whilst fundraising. For their final fundraising activity they have two great handbag auctions, the prizes are gorgeous bags from AA & Kho.

Tickets are $10 each and you can purchase a ticket by emailing amber.mcarthur@redcross.org.nz. The draw will be made on Monday 7th October and all payments must be made by this time.

Monday is the last day to submit the money that they have raised so if you would like to purchase a ticket please contact Amber by Sunday night.

If you would like to support their fundraising you can also make a donation on line direct to their page... www.redcrossjourney.org.nz...
