A recent CHB Fashion Show, organised by Karen Bray and Margie Hewitt, along with their team of helpers from the local CHB Fundraising Group, has raised a remarkable $6182.

This sum will go directly towards acquiring two hospital beds for Central Hawke’s Bay cancer patients, enabling them to be cared for in their own homes.

Karen Bray expressed her delight at the community support for the sold-out event, stating “It was a fabulous afternoon of fashion and fun, all for a good cause. From the runway to the stalls, the support of local businesses and the enthusiasm of attendees truly made this an unforgettable occasion.”
