This winter, Tōtara Hospice is inviting the east Auckland community to come together for a cause that touches countless lives.
The Long Lunch Charity Gala – A Magical Winter Garden Party is sponsored by Davis Funerals and promises an unforgettable afternoon of elegance, connection, and compassion on Sunday, June 8, all in support of your local hospice.
Held at the stunning Winsford Gardens in Ramarama, guests will enjoy a welcome drink, canapes, a beautifully curated four-course lunch paired with fine wines, live entertainment, and a dazzling charity auction.
Hosted by beloved media personality Mike Puru, and featuring special guest speaker Kate Rodger, the event blends sophistication with purpose.
But beyond the beautiful setting and sparkling wine glasses lies a critical reason to attend: supporting hospice care in our local community.
Tōtara Hospice provides compassionate, specialist palliative care to more than 1,400 patients and families across south-east Auckland each year – at no cost to them.
However, with only 53 per cent Government funding, the hospice must raise over $7.5 million annually to keep its services running.
Events like the Long Lunch are vital to ensure this care remains accessible to everyone who needs it.
“When you attend the Long Lunch, you’re not just enjoying a special afternoon, you’re helping ensure someone’s mother, father, partner or friend receives the dignity and comfort they deserve, when it’s needed the most,” Tōtara Hospice fundraising manager Kim Sinfield says.
“Your support means we can be there today, tomorrow, and for future generations.”
Whether people attend for the food, the entertainment, or the heart behind the event, their presence makes a real difference.
So gather your friends, dress in your winter best, and join Tōtara Hospice for a day of giving back.
