Chairperson of Wellington City Life Education Trust, Jo Coughlan says the event has in the past raised more than $50,000 and they are hoping to exceed that amount this year.
“This is the third fundraising exhibition we’ve held for Wellington City Life Education Trust. It is a great chance to get a beautiful piece of New Zealand art while supporting the children of Wellington.”

Life Education is a non-profit organisation. Each year, Life Education’s health based teaching programmes are brought to more than 200,000 pre-school and primary aged children in schools across New Zealand.
In Wellington alone, more than 5000 children annually experience the magic of Harold the Giraffe, and learn about what makes them special and unique.
In Wellington City the Trust requires fundraising of some $100,000 annually to ensure local children can experience the magic of the mobile classroom and the joy of learning with Harold the Giraffe.
Life Education is a preventative approach. Children are taught about the wonder of life, themselves, and other people.
Life Education works on changing desires. Its philosophy focuses on creating sensitivity to values, which leads to an understanding and appreciation of human life. This enables children to make decisions about any negative influences that might impede the development of their full potential.
