THE PATRON'S DINNER

JUNE 1 2023 | 1800hrs​​​​​​​ | Hilton Hotel - Auckland

Hosted by Sir Graham Henry, The Patron's Dinner has the ambitious target of raising $300,000.00 to assist funding some major home renovation projects for the seriously injured players the NZRF supports - as well as funding on-going research to ensure a safe and sustainable game for future generations.

A top-class night needs to top class entertainment so we are delighted to have Scotty Stevenson as emcee, NZ music legend Peter Urlich providing the music, Dame Patsy Reddy as keynote speaker, and a panel Q and A with Stephen Donald, Ruahei Demant and Dan Carter!.  

In the foyer off the red-carpet entry, guests will be offered pre-dinner drinks and canapés, be entertained by a roving magician and have the opportunity to be photographed with celebs by the sponsor's wall.

We have also added the Scapegrace Cocktail Hour to the program following the 3-course plated and served dinner and live charity auction. 

$300k is an ambitious goal but we know we’ll have the best people in the room to help us achieve this, and make a difference to the game we all love. 

THIS EVENT IS OFFICIALLY SOLD OUT. Please contact ben@rugbyfoundation.nz with any enquires.
