Over $5400 was raised for the Combined Colleges USA Trip taking place in the September/October Holidays this year.

More than 300 people packed into the Event Cinemas to watch the Marlborough Premiere of the new New Zeland Movie Red, White and Brass.  

Prior to the movie, our guests enjoyed complimentary drinks thanks to Constellation Wine and purchsed raffle tickets to help the fundraising effort of the group.  Sturrock Saunders won the raffle, which included a generous voucher to St Clair Vineyard Kitchen, and the Omaka Observatory, Pak and Save and Maid 2 You vouchers as well as a Lenovo Smart clock from PC Media and various other items generously donated by Friends and Family of the students. 

The Fundraising Group would like to thank the following business for their generous contributions to our efforts.

• The Blenheim investors in Red, White and Brass for allowing us to use the Marlborough premiere as a fundraiser
• Constellation Brands for donating the lovely Kim Crawford sauvignon blanc
• Business Trust Marlborough for promoting and supporting ticket sales
• Event Cinemas for their support in hosting the event
• Omaka Observatory, St Clair Wines, Maid 2 U Solutions and Pak'nSave Blenheim for raffle donations, as well as contributions from MGC and MBC families
• Marlborough media outlets for publicising the fundraiser, particularly Top South Media

Most Importantly, thanks so much to all those who bought tickets and supported the students. It was a great night and an awesome movie.
