Cranford Hospice is celebrating 35 years on Friday with a special auction featuring everything from an All Blacks playing strip to an apron signed by the former prime minister.
The Cheval Room in Hastings will play host to a cocktail party where people can get the chance to walk away with Israel Dagg's signed Canterbury training strip, an All Blacks 2015 World Cup jersey and shorts signed by the 2015 World Cup squad, a framed Magpies jersey signed by the 2009 squad, an apron signed by sir John Key, a floral lithograph limited edition print by Gary Bukovnik and Mission Estate Winery Wine from the first Mission Estate Winery Concert.
Cranford Hospice marketing and fundraising manager Nathalie van Dort said ever since the hospice treated its first patient in 1982 they have been humbled by the community's support.
"We have touched the lives and the hearts of many and we are a community organisation who are continuously blown away by everyone's generosity."
The nurse who treated the first patient will speak at the fundraiser alongside staff and members of the board.
