Greyhound fashion fundraiser for Greyhounds as Pets charity
This is a fundraiser for Greyhounds as Pets. Join us for an afternoon of greyhound fashion including a prize draw and silent auction. Greyhounds have thin skin and a single layer of fur. They need clothing. Adopted greyhounds will be strutting the catwalk to model the functional and fashionable clothes that their families have chosen for them.
Advance purchase $15 for adults and $10 for children under 13. (At the door, prices will be $20 and $15). Each entry receives one ticket for the prize draw; additional raffle tickets can be purchased at the venue. Silent auction items will be available for a minimum bid of $50.
The Sixty6 is the nightclub venue attached to the Christchurch Casino. This event is wheelchair accessible - just go into the main entrance of the casino and ask the staff to use the elevator.
***Only the greyhound models are allowed into the venue; please come, but leave your dog at home***
This fundraiser is being organised by Kathleen Crisley from The Balanced Dog, who provides care for dogs using massage, acupressure, laser, trigger point and food therapies.
Tickets for the event can be purchased here: www.balanceddog.co.nz...

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
