Team Plunket contestants are continuing to play hard for Plunket.
Team Kepka Builders are pitched against Team Speights Ale House in a battle to see whose players can raise the most funds for a new Plunket Centre in Onekawa.
Speight's Ale House has postponed its Wednesday night Team Plunket Quiz until next
week, which gives contestants more time to practise surreptitious Googling. There is a $50 entry fee for teams of four.
The Enza Foods bike-a-thon is Sunday, June 19. It meanders from Pandora Pond at 10am and finishes with afternoon tea 40km along the Hawke's Bay Rotary Cycleway at Clifton Cafe. The entry fee is $10.
Cityfitness in Napier is dedicating an open day to Plunket.
Two endurance rides will be held, starting 8.30am and 11am, a self-defence lesson at 10am and kids aged 5-12 can try Zumba by going Zumbatomic at 10.45am with a gold coin donation.
A sausage sizzle is available to provide requisite calories.
Hawke's Bay Today has resorted to fascism to raise Plunket funds. Staff on Friday pay $2 to wear jeans and $4 if they don't - a denim dilemma.
The Team Plunket business player who raises the most money wins an Amazing Race corporate package for 20 people from the Kiwi Adventure Trust. Like the TV show, the winning group will be put into teams, and race to complete challenges, earn rewards and score points.
All entrants will be in to win spot prizes donated by Sharpies Golf Driving Range, Speight's Ale House, Campbell's Bakery and OnTrack Adventures.
The new Plunket centre will be a "one-stop shop" in Onekawa so families can easily access all Plunket services.
Facilities will include a parents' centre, nurses' clinic, playroom, parenting education classes, family friendly cafe, toy library and car-seat rental.
