On the night
First up, you will enjoy delicious canapés followed by a sit down two-course dinner with a range of beverages.
Then sit back, if you dare, and let raconteur Brian Nankervis take you on a ride with stories, games and maybe even a quiz — before leaning in to hear stories of the crucial work we do at Live4Life, exploring courage, lived experience and strength through vulnerability.
Why not try your luck and bid in our silent auction? Every dollar raised at the Live4Life Spring Dinner helps us build stronger relationships and supports a whole-community approach — empowering rural communities to improve youth mental health and reduce suicide.
To round off the night, a special guest performance by award-winning musician Jen Cloher (Ngāpuhi & Ngāti Kahu) whose fifth album, ‘I Am The River, The River Is Me’, is inspired by Cloher’s matrilineal line of wāhine Māori. In Jen’s own words, the album is not a perfect self portrait but instead seems to say… the joy of life is in forgiving your moments of weakness with grace, and embracing the parts of you that are unfinished.
