It's Not Too Late to Help Hospice

It's Not Too Late to Help Hospice

THERE is still time to enter a novel competition to help hospice earn some much-needed cash.

Long-time hospice supporter Dilmah Tea has offered to top up its annual onpack donation by another $5000, to $30,000, providing the public shares its favourite way to enjoy Dilmah.

There is no limitation to how Dilmah is enjoyed - be it in the usual way in a cup, or in a recipe, as a cocktail or even as a remedy for puffy eyes.

Hospice needs as many ideas as possible before World Hospice Day on Saturday, October 6.

Each entry will go into the draw to win a year's supply of Dilmah, plus a luxurious night for two at any Heritage Hotel in New Zealand.

There will also be spot prizes up for grabs containing Dilmah products and a voucher for celebrity chef and Hospice New Zealand ambassador Jo Seagar's new book "You Shouldn't Have Gone To So Much Trouble Darling: 10th anniversary edition", being released on October 5.

To help hospice achieve its goal, post entries to: Dilmah competition, c/o Hospice New Zealand, PO Box 6660, Wellington, email coms@hospice.org.nz or fax 04 381 0264.

Entries close on Friday, October 5, and the winner will be drawn on World Hospice Day.

New Zealand is one of 50 countries that celebrate World Hospice Day, a unified day of action to celebrate and support hospice and palliative care worldwide.

A number of hospices throughout the country have events planned to mark the occasion.

All the country's hospices are members of Hospice New Zealand, providing free palliative care to people living with a terminal illness while also supporting family/whanau and friends.
