Our Shave for a Cure is happening THIS FRIDAY - we'd love your support

Carly from Waltham

Hi all!

Hope this isn't against the rules but I'm looking for your help!

This Friday we are hosting a great Shave for a Cure Twilight Gala at Phillipstown Hub, 39 Nursery Rd. You can learn more here: www.neighbourly.co.nz... but rest assured there will be great food (sausages, woodfired pizza and a huge bake sale with GF options available) and lots of fun with all proceeds benefitting Leukemia and Blood Cancer NZ.

We are looking for last-minute donations for our raffle from local businesses or craftspeople. We've already had great support from FORGE fashion, Slick Burgers, Vivace Espresso and other amazingly generous people and businesses.

We're also looking for anyone who might like to help in the entertainment on Friday. Between 3 and 7 we'd love to show people an excellent time and if you or your group have a special talent (family-friendly!) to share for part of that time, we'd love to hear from you :)

Lastly, you can support our fundraiser online! My fundraising page is here: bit.ly... Every little bit helps!

Thanks for reading <3
Carly
