There can be no excuse for not seeing the Child Cancer Foundation fund-raising street appeal in Mid City Mall today and tomorrow - just look for the huge kiwifruit.
International celebrities Hairy Berry and Goldirocks are stepping out to draw attention to the annual appeal this year, courtesy of
Zespri.
Child Cancer Foundation Tauranga branch manager Amanda Winstanley says she is happy to have all the help she can get, as the street appeal is the foundation's big shot at self-funding itself for another year.
Sick children in the Bay will directly benefit from money raised locally as the foundation does not receive any government funding, or funding from other cancer charities.
"We rely solely on the generosity of big-hearted New Zealanders," she says.
Last year the appeal raised more than $800,000 across New Zealand.
Hairy Berry and Goldirocks will be at the mall and in Devonport Rd tomorrow from 11am.
