During the month of May, Hospices throughout New Zealand will be running fun events to lift the lid on what they do and to raise some much-needed funds.
With the support of the local community and a few high-profile Kiwis they won't be doing it alone.
The "Hospice Cuppa" event is a fun way Mercy Hospice Auckland will be raising funds and awareness to coincide with its Annual Awareness Week activities (Monday 13th May to Sunday 19th May 2013). It is hoped that as many as 100 Auckland businesses, community organisations and homes will take up the opportunity to bake some sweet treats and host a cuppa get together with friends and colleagues to raise support for the charity.
This Awareness Week Mercy Hospice hopes to raise $200,000 to help cover the annual Patient Services costs involved with running its IPU facility.
For more information on hosting a Hospice Cuppa visit www.hospicecuppa.co.nz or visit www.mercyhospice.org.nz to make a donation. Keep an eye out for collectors 16-19 May.
