Big thank you to the Timaru District Council and Venture Timaru for sponsoring this free community event!
A huge thank you to our Chamber of Commerce community for the “Support Local Auction”. Honestly over $18k of donated items is just fantastic, and then to auction these off and receive $18k+, which will all be donated to CPlay is so good to see and demonstrates what a community minded group of businesses and individuals we have the pleasure to work with. Please see below the businesses who supported the auction, and do support these businesses back, and also support the local hospitality, retail and tourism businesses that have done it tough over the last couple of years. Connect with and value our local businesses.
