4 Days left to Bring Fanfare Home on PledgeMe!

There are just 4 days left in our Bring Fanfare Home PledgeMe campaign to raise our target of $50,000 and we are nearly there!

We now only have $4,844 left to raise – can you help us? By contributing as little as $10, we will all be one step closer to seeing the visionary icon that is Fanfare, in the flesh (or should we say, in the steel!).

If you’d love to see this mammoth sculpture installed on the Northern Motorway, then please join us in pledging here.

We have come so far on this PledgeMe journey, but if we don’t reach our target onMonday October 13, all the pledges will be nullified.

Fanfare by Neil Dawson will be 6 stories high and round, making it New Zealand’s largest public sculpture. The bold statement that Fanfare will make on the Canterbury landscape as a signal of confidence that our city is rebuilding, is going to be phenomenal.

Thanks in advance for your support - we look forward to celebrating the launch of Fanfarewith you in 2015!
