HOME: WHERE THE HEART IS MARKET DAY AUCTION RAISED OVER $9,000 FOR CHRISTCHURCH Ray White Ponsonby prides itself on contributing to the Greater Ponsonby community but in recent weeks it became clear there was another New Zealand community that really needed help. Spurred on by Growth and Development Manager Gower Buchanan who up until last November called Christchurch home, the Ray White Ponsonby team rallied help from generous local businesses and amongst their own staff, to pull together a charity auction on Market Day with salesperson Matthew Ryan as auctioneer. It was a huge success with over $9,000 raised in just an hour and a half. MANY THANKS TO THE FOLLOWING LOCAL BUSINESSES:
