The Tauranga Gala Dinner has announced this year's recipient of the evening's charity auction, with local organisation Wish 4 Fish being the chosen charity.
The event, into its seventh year and this time hosting superstar couple Richie and Gemma McCaw, regularly invites local charities to raise funds via a live auction during the evening.
Organisers say that although the gala dinner is a commercial entertainment event, the format and type of event gives a great platform for charities to raise much needed money and awareness risk-free.
Wish 4 Fish provides specialised fishing and water activities for people with illness, disability and hardship.
