One persons junk is another persons treasure.

CTCW Garage Sale

As I have mentioned in a previous blog our staff have made South Auckland Health Foundation our principal charity for the 2010 financial year.  Although we contribute to many other worthwhile causes, our staff were keen to throw as much behind this excellent cause as possible.  We have undertaken many worthwhile projects so far, such as bucket rattling at the Auckland Warriors’ matches, knitting garments for newborn babies, cake and sweet sales in our offices, and pestering our clients for donations to our general cash fund which will be used to buy new equipment for the Pukekohe Maternity Hospital.  We aim to raise over $7,500 by 31 March next year ($4,100 collected so far).  Our latest initiative to generate more cash for this wonderful cause was a garage sale and sausage sizzle on Saturday, 31 October.  As well as being a great opportunity to pick up some excellent bargains, we had some super people helping by contributing funds to the baby phototherapy wrap for Pukekohe Maternity Hospital.  It kicked off from 8.00 am (although the bargain hunters were there from 6.45!) in the car park behind our building on 17 Hall Street.  Our staff made an amazing effort and we have raised close to $3,000 from the garage sale alone!!!  Thank you to all those who contributed their time, goods and cash.

Watch this space for an update on our target!
