Project Promise is a major Whangarei/Northland fundraiser.

The project to build an Oncology Facility in Whangarei has been negotiated between the Northland District Health Board (NDHB) and Northland Community Foundation (NCF).

Northland Community Foundation will, through community fundraising, raise funds for the building of the Oncology facility which will primarily be an ambulatory facility for the delivery of chemotherapy treatment and multi-disciplinary outpatient consultations.

This is the largest project ever undertaken by a Community Foundation throughout New Zealand and support from business, organisations, clubs and people is key to the $3 million in 3 years challenge.

There is a Chieftan Boat Trip on the 5th of September which is helping to raise funds too.

Contact Susie Fordyce from the Northland Community Foundation, on Ph 09 4340803 or 021 431014. Tickets are limited. so be in fast.

Itenery includes:  Breakfast at 7:30am in Reotahi; lunch, drinks and nibbles on the boat, with raffles and fishing involved.  Donations of $500 per couple.

On the September 4th at Forum North there will be an auction which has been organised by Barfoot Thompson it starts at 1:00pm so please come along and make a few bids!
