CHARITY AUCTION

Each year The Tauranga Gala Dinner invites a local charity along to raise funds and awareness via a charity auction at the event. The 2021 charity recipient will be announced soon.

​

At The Tauranga Gala Dinner, 100% of the auction proceeds go to the charity's cause and has become a very important way for local organisations to raise funds. The Tauranga Gala Dinner provides this opportunity risk-free to the charity. We know this type of event is a great platform for charities to host an auction, which also adds an extra element of excitement to the evening as well. There are always some incredible and usually-unattainable items or experiences up for grabs, which you won't find anywhere else. You could be lucky enough to be going home with a piece of history or a money-can't-buy adventure!

The charity auction is run separately from the commercial arm of the event, with all charitable funds and donations going to the charity.

COVID-19 RESPONSE

Events are safely able to operate under Alert Level 1, and we aim to deliver an event that is safe for all patrons. Working alongside the team at Trustpower Baypark , we will be ensuring that all safety advice will be followed at the event and making sure that our guests' wellbeing is front of mind. This may include hand sanitiser stations, regular cleaning of bathrooms and high-use areas, contact tracing protocols and other requirements that may come up prior to the event.

We also advise our guests to follow the below guidelines:

• Wash your hands regularly and before you eat
