The show may be over
but Plunket couldn’t be happier with Monty Betham &
dancing partner Nerida Jantti making it into the finals of
Dancing With The Stars - putting on outstanding performances
right to the end.
“We’d like to thank everyone who got right behind Monty & Nerida and helped to raise money for Plunket by voting for them” says Carol Becker, Plunket’s President.
“Monty is a champion to all of us at Plunket and we want to wish him, Nerida and their families all the best”.
Plunket is committed to giving the best start to every child, by providing advice and support to families, caregivers and whānau. The money raised from Dancing with the Stars will help Plunket to provide additional services in communities that are funded by donations including Family Centres, Parenting Education and Car Seat Rental Schemes.
