We are excited to invite you to be a part of our premier fundraiser coming up on Saturday the 17th of August at the Napier War Memorial Centre.

The Magnolia Ball is a spectacular evening!

Our evening starts from 5.30pm sipping bubbles and soaking up the Napier War Memorial Centre’s stunning Pacific Ocean views. After capturing the moment with our event photographer it’s time to check out your favourites from the selection of amazing auction items up for grabs.

In the grand ballroom our M.C, Te Radar, guides us through the evening while we dine on a delicious three course silver service dinner from Dish. Our guest speaker, Chris Martin, gives us a fascinating look behind the scenes of “The Restaurant That Makes Mistakes,” and after dinner Harcourts presents the live charity auction.

Place your bids and help us raise funds to meet the growing need for our services across Hawke’s Bay. Every dollar from the auction goes directly into the free programmes we provide to support people in our community affected by dementia mate wareware.

When the hammer falls on the last auction lot the lights go down and the music turns up as Stolen Records takes over the stage for the rest of the night.

Sparkle up winter with the fabulous 2024 Magnolia Ball line up.
