Woman in Gold, created by Warkworth women Joanna and Cherith Curtis, took out the open section prize in this year’s Hospice Catwalk Arts show, held at the Orewa Arts & Events Centre on October 6.
Marketing coordinator Bex Argar says although the amount raised of $10,000 wasn’t as good as hoped for, she put this down to the new venue and format.
“We knew it would be hard, but as the participants were so amazing and the community so supportive, we will put the showcase on next year,” she says.
“The event was supported by both Hibiscus and Warkworth’s fundraising committees to raise funds for patients in both communities and was a real example of how the alliance can be beneficial for the communities.”
Hospice thanked the sponsors, in particular, and acknowledged the huge effort put in by the contestants.
