BIG NIGHT IN

Kerre Woodham MC'd this exclusive, invitation-only event. The guest list of dignitaries and corporate groups included Members of Parliament, Auckland Mayor Len Brown, Lucy Lawless, Rosie Horton (recently made a Dame for her charity work) and other prominent New Zealanders. Speakers included Dr. Pita Sharples and a former inmate who described what it was like being a prisoner.
The evening’s activities included a live auction of a few very special donated items including:
- Tim and Neil Finn signed Takamine guitar
- A Jon Tootill painting "Koekoea"
- A Queenstown golf package for 4
- A Fiona Whyte sculpture "The Light Within"
- A dinner party for 10 by chef and owner Geoff Scott at Vinnie's Restaurant in Herne Bay (which sold for more than any other auction item)
A HUGE THANK YOU to the Fundraising Committee that organised this amazing event:
| Louise Binns | Rosie Horton |
| Rosie Dunphy | Barbi Cook |
| Jane Day | Hilary Lewis |
| Sarah Cole | Nicky Marshall |
| Kanta Lala | Malcolm Reynolds |

As the event was held inside of a prison, guests were treated to a night free from cellphones, cameras and stiletto heels. Hence the only photos taken at the event were of guests as they arrived, like those below.
