Lightbulb Charity Auction

Coinciding with Parkinson's Awareness Week in NZ Marsden student Sakira Knights is taking her project Lightbulb Trade Relay to the next level with a Charity Evening for Parkinson's Research on 1 November 2017, 6.30pm at Macs Function Centre.

 

Sakira's charity is The Neurological Foundation Douglas Human Brain Bank, a world-class scientific research organisation with a dedicated team working on Parkinson's and each dollar that she manages to raise will be spent on trying to find a cure.

 

Please spread the word about her Charity Evening or better still, grab some friends and book tickets ($60 each) or, a table of 10. With wonderful "Experience NZ" Packages on offer you can bid on holiday packages (including activities, accommodation, travel and food) all over the country. There are a mix of both Couples & Family Packages available in Wellington, Queenstown, Christchurch, Franz Josef, Milford Sound, Auckland, Northland & Dunedin to name a few.

 

Bidding on the wonderful packages available will turn Sakira's hard work and the generosity of her WATT'S Up For Grabs Partners into cash that will go towards finding a cure. Contact Bryce Keith at Wellington Hospitality Group (bryce@whg.co.nz) today and book your places.

 

Below is a list of some of the packages up for auction. If you can't make it on 1 November you can place a reserve bid beforehand. Please get in touch with Sakira directly at lightbulbtraderelay@gmail.com.
