Egg Maternity Charity Event Successful
On Monday October 12 2009, EGG Maternity Ltd and the Mental Health Foundation hosted a charity evening to raise money for and awareness of Post Natal Depression services.
All proceeds from the evening were donated to the
Mental Health Foundation which at present receives no
government funding for its Post Natal Depression awareness
raising &support activities.
It was held in the
beautiful surrounds of the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron
on Auckland’s harbour front.
Sheree Carberry of
shared her own experience of Post Natal Depression and
brought home to all attendees what a devastating condition
it is.
This was followed by a fashion show unveiling
EGG’s Winter 2010 collection and modeled by entrants in
EGG’s recent Pregnant Model Search.
The evening was
a great success and would not have been possible without the
generous support of our sponsors and donors – the Royal
New Zealand Yacht Squadron for donating use of their
gorgeous ballroom and bar, Hue hair design for styling our
models hair, Edenvale for providing non-alcoholic bubbles
and all the donors for the wonderful auction items.
