A fundraising initiative, backed by local businesses, has been organised at ANZ Morrinsville branch to raise funds for the Cancer Society.

Tickets are sold at ANZ Morrinsville for $2 each but the buyer also has the option of purchasing three tickets for $5.

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.
