Fancy a lunch date with Dan Carter in Paris? How about a bite to eat with Richie McCaw - in a helicopter?
These are just some of the experiences being auctioned at 'An evening with Richie McCaw, Dan Carter and friends', presented by Vogel's.

The event will be held at Auckland's Vector Arena next Wednesday, August 26, to raise money for iSport Foundation, the sporting charity McCaw and Carter set up with former All Black Ali Williams in 2009.
The foundation helps sportspeople aged 12-18 be the best they can, no matter their circumstances. It helps identify individuals showing talent and provides vital resources, including meeting essential costs such as travel, equipment and competition fees.
The trio founded the charity after their travels around New Zealand showed many schools were struggling to fund even small projects, like buying new uniforms or hoops for a basketball court.
The black tie banquet is being promoted by Duco Events. Duco boss David Higgins said it would be an evening to remember.
"It's fair to say it's a high-end event ... Dave Dobbyn's going to be performing and John Campbell will be master of ceremonies."
Organisers want to raise $200,000 through two auctions. "100 per cent" of money raised will go to iSport, Higgins said.
"There's a silent auction with more affordable items ... [for example] a Richie McCaw 2011 World Cup limited edition jersey.
"Moving on to the live auction, there are some really stunning items. There's a trip to Paris including lunch for two with Dan Carter and 12 nights' accommodation, flights included.
"There's also a trip to the Rugby World Cup 2015 final, including two category one tickets, lunch with Ali Williams, flights and 7 nights' accommodation.
"Then we've got a really special one ... which is a helicopter lunch for half a dozen people, with Richie McCaw. He actually flies helicopters, so he'll be sitting alongside the pilot."
Tables and tickets are available through the Duco website, www.ducoevents.co.nz
