The Marlborough community has once again proved its value with over $2000 raised for a Cure Kids Quiz night held at the Woodbourne Tavern & Motels recently. Twelve Marlborough businesses supported the event which totalled $2201.89 for Cure Kids, a non-profit organisation.
Organisers Simon Popham and Kaycee Polkinghorne says as parents themselves and those who attended the quiz, ‘love what Cure Kids stands for’ and the great work they do to improve health outcomes for kids. Cure Kids was established by Rotary in 1971 as the Child Health Research Foundation and have invested more than $65
million in New Zealand research which has helped to shape and vastly improve the way children who live with serious diseases and health conditions are diagnosed and treated. The following business’ supported the event; Blenheim Bunnings Warehouse, TyreLAND Blenheim Ltd, Thai 9 Restaurant, Meaters of Marlborough Ltd, Overflow, BNT, Jaycar Electronics,
Yealands Wines, Wairau Pharmacy / Beauty Therapy, Wither Hills Winery, Briscoes, Aquanort Pools, Mon Thai Massage and Hunting and Fishing. On the back of the success of the quiz night, another charity event, a masquerade ball, is planned for locals on Matariki weekend in late June. Further details to appear in the Blenheim Sun in the upcoming weeks.
TO THE WINNERS THE SPOILS: Team Seresin quiz members, Kem Ou, Domi Engel, Ruby Wadman, Lizzie McMullen, Trish Manuel, Norbert Sehmer and Cameron Vawter. In front: Simon Popham
