More than $10,000 has been raised by the Wairarapa community for the Beau Olson Trust, which has purchased a Cuddle Cot for Wairarapa Hospital.

Some $5000 was raised in the initial stages of the fundraising campaign and another $5000 was raised at an auction at Lone Star in Masterton on Tuesday night.

One of the items up for grabs was a 2015 RWC squad signed All Black training top that sold for $900.
