Prizes, Food, Drinks And Music All For A Good Cause

Three Events - One Mission

It is now just three weeks until 25 teams make their way from Auckland to Queenstown on just $10 and some Kiwi ingenuity all to help New Zealand children with serious illnesses and conditions.

The Accor $10 Queenstown Race to Cure Kids raises hundreds of thousands of dollars for the Cure Kids charity organisation, which invests millions of dollars researching life threatening illnesses that affect children and their families, such as genetic disorders, cot death, leukaemia and cystic fybrosis. The race runs from October 3-5.

The Accor group, the title and accommodation sponsor for the third year running, has five teams entered this year, one from Accor's corporate office, one from Mercure Hotel Auckland, one from Novotel Palmerston North and two from Novotel and Hotel Ibis Ellerslie.

Now we need your help!

The Auckland teams have several upcoming events and yes it's for a good cause, but there's also music, food, fine wine and a huge number of fantastic prizes to be won. Please come along to one (or all!) of these local events to show your support for the kids.
