Pizzas to Bake and Help 😉

We’ll be taking part in the 2019 Step Up Sky Tower Stair Challenge, and we need your help to achieve our goal to DONATE NZD 1103.

We’ll be taking part in the 2019 Step Up Sky Tower Stair Challenge, and we need your help to achieve our goal to DONATE NZD 1103.

This is the perfect excuse to invite your friends for a nice meal and drinks on Saturday night, or even get some to freeze and use them when you don’t want to cook during the week!

Pablo has worked making pizzas in Argentina and Costa Rica and has an Italian/Argentinian style that you will love.

Hurry up!, you can place your order by DM (or by phone +64 022 369 9486) until Thursday night, and have two ways of paying:

1) You can either pay by card through the Fundraising Link:

secure.leukaemia.net.nz...

2) Or use cash at the moment of delivery.

We'll be delivering for FREE on Saturday from 4 pm.

Thanks a lot for giving us a hand with the fundraising, and for trusting in the power of Pizza!

The Step Up Sky Tower Stair Challenge is a key fundraising event for Leukaemia & Blood Cancer New Zealand (LBC). The money raised from this event funds LBC’s work, including research and support of the six Kiwis diagnosed every day with a blood cancer or related condition and their families. LBC receives no Government funding, so this is the only way we can help them.

We aim to raise $1 per every step of the Sky Tower stairs we will climb (That is 1103 steps!), And we couldn’t think of a better way to do that than making some tasty Pizzas for you!

Price: $15

Join us for a guided tour with a difference! Discover the unexpected and intriguing stories behind the bags on display in our featured exhibition Carried Away: Bags Unpacked.

The bags themselves are a visual feast, but we've dug deeper and fallen down rabbit-holes to bring you the bigger picture of the life and times of these popular accessories. We guarantee that the De-tour stories start with bags, but who knows where we may end up?

De-tours are thirsty work and so they will conclude with a Devonshire tea at our 1929 cafe.

Saturday and Sunday afternoons, 10 - 11 and 17 - 18 August. Bookings essential.
