The Artisan Emporium at 105 Brighton Mall held a fundraising raffle last Christmas and
26
proudly donated 100 % of the proceeds to SmileDial Charity. The Artisan Emporium raised $ 2668.00 to support Kiwi families raising kids that are a " different type of perfect ". So far, $ 500 of the funds have been dedicated to the upkeep and growth of the SmileDial Sensory Garden in the Rawhiti Domain, New Brighton.
The fundraising couldn ' t have happened without the kind contribution from local businesses. They donated vouchers and other miscellaneous products and services to the raffle. Also, businesses helped sell raffle tickets.
Special thanks our raffle sponsors: Pier People, Quicksilver, Salt On The Pier, Honey Cafe, Antidote, Switch Cafe, Lighthouse Cafe, Beach Cafe, Postanote, 5th Avenue, Marshalls, Unichem Pharmacy, Video Easy, BinInn, Portstone Garden Centre, PJ Jeans, New Brighton Project. Thank you for the Pirates and Miso who helped entertain the kids at The Christmas @ 105 Event. And a HUGE Thank You to everyone in the community who supported the event by purchasing a raffle ticket. The community really showed just how strong it is and how powerful when we all pull together to help families in need of support.
