Rotorua All Black legends Buck Shelford and Hika Reid are leading a line-up of talent at a hospice black-tie dinner and auction.
The event, to be held on September 13 at Rydges Rotorua, is being organised by the Rotorua Community Hospice Trust.
It aims to raise much-needed funds to allow the hospice to continue providing care for terminally ill people and their families in the community.
This year, the organisation expects to care for more than 380 patients and their families.
Also taking part in the evening will be radio talkback host, author and columnist Kerre McIvor (nee Woodham) who will host the event, and entertainers Michael Murphy and Rebecca Wright.
