Fronde raises $3000 for Life Flight Trust

Fronde's client Christmas auction raised $3000 for Life Flight Trust, which was held last night in Fronde's Wellington Office.

Fronde decided not to do the typical nibbles and wine for their client Christmas function this year, instead hosted a charity auction for Life Flight Trust on Tuesday night.  Using a bit of innovative thinking and technical know-how, this was not your typical auction either!  

The auction was conducted using mobile phones, where the clients of Fronde texted their bid - instantly appearing on the screen at the front of the room. Once Radio Network presenter, Jason Pine had rallied the last few dollars, the auction closed and the winner received their prize - (ipad, rugby tickets, mobile phone, wine etc).

Fronde managed to raise $3000; thanks to its generous client's, with all proceeds going to Life Flight Trust, a charity that provides a helicopter service to those needing urgent medical attention. According to Life Flight's website, Life Flight helps approximately 1,500 people a year and " for every mission flown, life flight requires about $2,500 from the community to make it happen". For more information about Life Flight or to make a donation please visit Life Flight Trust.

Thank you to all the clients of Fronde who attended, the bidders and the staff who helped execute this event. It was an enjoyable night and we wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
