  • a week since and new photos up

      3 April 2010

    Oh my word... a week on from Relay already! Have put up some photos, and there are more to be sucked outta the camera yet. As you'll see, there were warm-ups, there were dress-ups, the survivors and carers lap,? the fabulous Wellington Batucada leading the crowd, loads of whanau, friends and funtimes... team Stitched Up had an amazing Relay! Great big ups to Marti and Marion our team survivors who lasted on the track or in the marquee throughout the entire event, and Rachael who managed to stay awake the whole time too! Great big ups to all members of team Stitched up who together ensured we had people on the track at all times, and that we'd the bestest Relay. Very looking forward to our team ""debrief"" dinner next week! Huge thanks to all of our supporters, without you we couldn't have achieved what we have both in terms of our fundraising or our during Relay For Life itself - you're brilliant, cheers!

  • Fantastic turnout at our fundraiser film last night

      15 March 2010

    Thanks to everyone who attended our fundraising film screening of Boy, last night. What a night!? Not only did we raise another $1200 for the cause, we also sold a great number of raffle tickets. A big thanks to our ticket sellers.? Huge thanks also to the Empire Cinema in Island Bay, Wellington for hosting us, enabling us to screen the film pre-release and ensuring the evening went off without a hitch.? Boy goes on general release at the Empire Cinema later this month. We must also mention the Office Bar in Newtown and the Cancer Society (Wellington) for kindly donating our spot prizes Our big fundraising activities this week are centred on our mammoth garage sale this saturday (20 March 9am-12pm, 24 Rolleston St, Mt Cook, Wellington).? We'll have lots of great treasures for you and also will be selling any last raffle tickets before the draw later that day.? As with all of our fundraising, all proceeds will go to support the work of the Wellington division of the Cancer Society.? Hope to see you there! Cheers, M
