Taranaki economy shifts from oil and gas to dairy as leading export
The Taranaki region is enjoying one of the highest gross domestic product (GDP) per capita figures in New Zealand, thanks to high farmgate dairy prices.
The fundraising raffle offers a selection of prizes donated by Farm Source, DairyNZ, Tatua, Fonterra, LIC, Vet Clinic, Farmlands, FIL, GEA, and Agrihealth, Donaghys, Westmorland Estate Limited and PGG Wrightson among others.
Tickets are sold at ANZ Morrinsville for $2 each but the buyer also has the option of purchasing three tickets for $5.
Organisers say all proceeds will go directly to the Cancer Society, helping fund vital services and support for those affected by cancer in the community.
The fundraising is part of Daffodil Day - an annual fundraising campaign for the Cancer Society held on the last Friday of August, which is August 29th this year. The campaign raises funds for cancer research, support services, and prevention programs.
On August 29th, a barbeque will be done by the ANZ agribusiness team outside their premises.
Organisers are urging the community to buy raffle tickets and help them raise money for a worthy cause.
