Golden Centre Mall Annual Otago Community Hospice Gala Fundraiser
Dunedin Golden Centre Mall, Saturday 5 November 2011
Colliers International auctioneer, John Bowring, has guests digging deep in to their pockets and purses during a charity auction at this evening's annual Dunedin Golden Centre Mall Black Tie Gala in support of the Otago Community Hospice.
Several thousand dollars were raised at the highly successful fundraiser with guests at the sold out event bidding on a superb range of auction items that included jewellery, golfers packages, dinner vouchers, accommodation packages as well as a pair of diamond tickets to the Elton John concert being held at the Forsyth Barr Stadium being held later in the month.
