An art deco black tie event raised more than $60,000 for people in need in Hawke's Bay last month.
More than 160 people attended the Tremains Winter Charity Party, held at Sileni Estate Winery on May 26, which raised money for the Tremains Community Trust.
Managing director Simon Tremain said it was great to see so many people in Hawke's Bay willing to get out their cheque books to support others in the community who would really benefit from the helping hand.
"Our fundraiser cemented the generosity and support fellow Hawke's Bay residents have for each other - it's humbling to see," he said.
The amount of money raised through the auction on the evening and through sponsorship of the event has meant they will be able to help more people than last year.
