We had a fabulous afternoon at our Ladies Lunch fundraiser that we held at the end of March. The afternoon was held at the incredible Café Hanoi, a modern Vietnamese restaurant housed within a heritage warehouse space in Britomart, the city’s oldest commercial district. The meal featured some of Cafe Hanoi’s delicious signature dishes:

With so many of our fundraisers cancelled over the last few years, we were very happy to be able to hold this event. Raukatauri receives no direct government funding and we subsidise every music therapy session that we provide, fundraisers like these allow us to continue providing life-changing music therapy to Kiwis all over Aotearoa.

The afternoon was punctuated by five fashion runways featuring designs from the incredible Zambesi Store, Tanya Carlson, W by Working Style, Kate Sylvester, and Maggie Marilyn.

The vibes were lovely, the food was delicious, the guests were wonderful, and we're so excited to be able to say we raised over $30,000!!

The afternoon would not have been possible without the support of Pead PR, and the incredible MC prowess of Stacey Morrison and Anika Moa. We're so incredibly grateful for everyone's support and mahi!

Please consider supporting Raukatauri or joining our Koha for Raukatauri monthly giving programme. Every donation, however big or small, gives a person in need to access to life-changing music therapy.
