The Hon Grant Robertson, the Member of Parliament for Wellington Central, has kindly agreed to host a dinner for two people at Parliament.

All proceeds of the auction will go to the charity Koru Care NZ, which for over 35-years, has helped bring dreams alive for kids who have drawn the short straw. In some cases, they have cancer, kidney disease or heart problems, in other cases they have lost the use of their limbs or have serious congenital abnormalities.

The one thing they all share is the capacity to smile, laugh and create good memories; they just need someone to wave the magic wand and by winning this auction, you will.

The dinner: The dinner is a three-course dinner for two persons with the Hon Grant Robertson, Member of Parliament for Wellington Central at Bellamys by Logan Brown within Parliament, Wellington.

The auction winner will need to arrange a mutually agreeable date and time with Grant's office during a Parliamentary sitting week (Tuesday or Wednesday evening between 6pm and 7.30pm).

It will be a very special night to remember!

About Koru Care NZ: Koru Care NZ makes dreams come true for sick and disabled kids. It is well known for delivering dreams in the form of memorable overseas trips including to California and the Gold Coast. Both are dream destinations and each group consists of 26 children and 15 volunteer caregivers. Your support will help meet the many costs.

The USA trip is 2 weeks in duration and the Gold Coast is for 8 days. The children that participate on the Koru Care Gold Coast Adventure are generally chosen as they are too ill to handle the long-distance travel to California or the long days that this trip has. Closer to home, Koru Care NZ puts on events for the children with its annual pantomime and Christmas Harbour Cruise and picnic.

Koru Care NZ also provides grants for the cost of flights for children that require medical treatment overseas that is not available in New Zealand.
