SPRING CLEAN FOR STARSHIP
Turning trash into treasure for our national children's hospital
Starship Spring Clean launches on 1 September - a campaign that asks Kiwis across the country to clean out their cupboards, sell their unwanted goods and pledge some or all of the proceeds to Starship.
There are two ways to get involved in the Starship Foundation's annual campaign which supports the national children's hospital. Buy and sell items (big or small) on Trade Me or hold
a good old fashioned Kiwi garage sale.
Some quirky and unique items have already been donated to this year's Starship Spring
Clean. These include:
• A 10 minute one-on-one Skype chat with actress Lucy Lawless;
• A life-size Mercedes McLaren F1 Racing Simulator, donated by Starship Five Star
Sponsor Vodafone;
• The first off the presses of Paul Henry's new book Outraged, together with an original
drawing from the book by his lovely mum, Olive;
• A personalised voicemail message recording from author, presenter and comedian
Jaquie Brown;
• An autographed OPSHOP floor tom drum which has travelled with the band throughout the country and been used at some very memorable events;
• A well-loved rugby jersey that has been signed by 200 current and former All Blacks over many years;
• An Auckland Zoo Elephant Experience, Be a Zoo Keeper for a day at Wellington Zoo, and a double pass to the ASB Classic Finals, donated by Starship Five Star Sponsor
ASB;
• Three $1000 Caltex StarCash cards from Caltex;
• A week's luxury accommodation at Terrace Downs Resort in Canterbury, donated by a dedicated Starship staff member; and
Plus, once the public starts listing their items on the Trade Me Starship Spring Clean store, there will be all sorts of weird and wonderful items to purchase in support of Starship.
To sell Starship Spring Clean items on Trade Me, visit www.trademe.co.nz/starship from 1-30 September and follow the prompts. Sellers who donate at least 50% of the sale price to
