Held at Christchurch’s Te Pae Convention Centre, Sparkle for Hope promises a magical evening featuring top-quality dining and entertainment, a live auction, dancing, and more. The ball is an exceptional opportunity for both corporate and social hosting, with plenty of space to mix and mingle with guests, clients, and colleagues.
