Angel Walk - Sunday 2nd March, 2014

What's happening at Angel Walk? Sunday 2 March 2014 Happy New Year everyone! We thought it would be a good idea to let you know all the exciting things that will be happening at Angel Walk this year. As always, Angel Walk takes place on Children's Day and on the morning of Sunday 2 March 2014 we will be walking (or cycling) around the beautiful Te Ara Tahuna estuary walkway in Orewa. After the walk everyone is invited to the Family Funday at Western Reserve. The walk is always heaps of fun with lots of people dressing up, the themes are purple, rainbows, angels and butterflies. Start thinking about your costume now as there are prizes for "Best Dressed Up" kids and adults. If you need inspiration, take a look at the photos from previous years, dust off your butterfly wings and feather boas and let's have some fun! This year at the Family Funday we have fantastic children's rides, fabulous entertainment, great food stalls including home-baking and sushi plus the best face painting for miles around. It's a great family day out for a good cause so make sure you're there! jump online and buy tickets today Online bookings are open now. Buy your ticket before Fri 7 Feb and go in the draw to win a fabulous family book pack worth $200!

Buy Tickets Online - Adults $10 / Family $25

Travel in style... The wonderful folks at Bayes Coaches have donated us two luxury air conditioned coaches for the event. So if you're wanting to do the 2km route you can now travel in style back to the Family Funday. Thank you Bayes!

Our Inspiration Angel Walk is inspired by Kiara Morgan a beautiful angel who lost her long battle with cancer just before her 5th birthday. She was an amazing little girl with a big heart and a generous spirit. Read Kiara's story.

The Cause Every week in New Zealand three families are told their child has cancer. By providing much needed help and support on a day to day basis from diagnosis onwards the Child Cancer Foundation ensures each child and their family will never feel alone. Angel Walk raises funds for the Child Cancer Foundation in Kiara's memory.

Stanmore Bay School Fun Family Day Gala

“Come and have a Fun Family Day” at the Stanmore Bay School Gala 

 Sunday the 24^th November 10am-2pm.

Stanmore Bay School’s gala is more than a fundraising event - it is now one of the highlights of the Hibiscus Coast community calendar.

Where else can thousands of children and adults enjoy free entertainment, delicious food, pick up a whole pile of bargains and celebrate the start of summer – all together, at one place, on one day! Plus, buy a $2.00 raffle ticket and be in with the chance to win a stunning Toshiba SatPro C850 Notebook!

Children will love the rides this year including bouncy castles, jeeps, horses and a giant Games Alley. The entertainment line-up is promising too with Cheer Leaders, Belly Dancing, Taekwondo Performances a local band and "Peaches and Pickles".

A crowd favourite, the silent auction, will be running all day with over several thousand dollars’ worth of donated goods including a Bike, Kayak and a Family Day Pass to the Whale and Dolphin Cruise from Explore NZ valued at $400.00. An excellent time to secure some of those much needed Christmas presents.

A bumper crop of food and drink stalls including hamburgers, hot meat rolls, sushi, ice cream sodas, lollies and cakes, to the children’s favourite candyfloss, will keep the crowd’s hunger at bay. There will also be loads of hampers and tempting pantry items.

The gala begins – rain or shine – at 10am.
