Okoia Enviro-School's Tearita Goodwin used some of her birthday money to buy sausages for the school's "yellow day for St John" sausage sizzle fundraiser last week.
When she told the Mad Butcher she was buying the sausages for a fundraiser, she was pleased to receive a $2 discount.
Tearita 11, Cody Mooij 12, and Terence Ngatai 10, dished up 38 sausages to the students and raised $126.60 for St John.
Cody told the Chronicle he called St John for ideas on how the school could help the organisation.
"They are a big part of Wanganui and a lot of people need the ambulance services," Cody said.
