Fundraising event in West Melton raises thousands for men's health
West Melton locals raised just over $11,000 for Blue September – the Prostate Foundation at a special dinner held in conjunction with Melton Estate Winery last Saturday.
Guest speaker Mark Inglis, an ambassador for the foundation, and local Christchurch band Mama Rock entertained the sell-out crowd, while raffles and silent auctions – with products and services donated by local businesses – helped raise further funds for the cause.
According to the Prostate Foundation, more than 4000 Kiwi men are diagnosed with the disease each year.
Co-organiser Hayley Knight said the fundraising event was a “complete success”, with “lots of laughs, great food and wine and an awesome bands”.
