The multiple award-winning charity Sustainable Coastlines has an all-star line-up in store for their second annual fundraising ball on Saturday the 23rd of July.

The event – fittingly to be hosted right on the water at the Hilton Auckland Hotel – will raise much-needed funds to support the charity’s ongoing work to look after the coastlines kiwis love.

New Zealand’s top concert pianist – the world renowned Michael Houstoun – will stun guests on the grand piano, while the talented Barnaby Weir (lead singer from The Black Seeds and Fly My Pretties) will perform his critically acclaimed acoustic set. Aotearoa’s top jazz ensemble, Nairobi Trio, will play the strings and Grand Central Band, the popular local artists will top the evening off with a little jazz and funk.

“The artists, supporters and top-class venue have all come on board and we are humbled to have people of such calibre supporting the cause” says Sam Judd, Co Founder and Events Director of Sustainable Coastlines. “Guests will be treated to a truly fantastic evening of world-class entertainment, all while providing support for this important cause.”

All funds raised will go towards running coastal clean-up, riparian planting and educational projects with schools and volunteers around the country. This will assist the charity to continue their incredible string of successes which – in only two years of operation – have seen over 12,500 volunteers and hundreds of schools directly involved in removing over 670,000 litres of rubbish from coastlines.
