With the support of some amazing Principal Sponsors in the shape of Mercedes Benz, Kensington Swan and Venerdi, and a whole host of supporters such as Geon, DMG Media, Fairfax, Ponsonby News and others, during the 2008 DineAid campaign, we were able to pull in an amazing result.

Despite the global credit-cunch, the 2008 campaign still boasts some impressive numbers;

•    More that 155 restaurants were involved across Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, Queenstown and other cities (compared to just 35 in the first year in the UK)
•    A total of $55,000 was raised during the 9 week Christmas period of the campaign (outstripping both first and second year totals raised by sister organisation Streetsmart Australia)
•    (Due to the support of the Principal sponsors), every donated cent has now been distributed to the 2008 beneficiary charities – the City Missions in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch; Foundation for Youth Development, Kidz First at Middlemore Hospital and Cure Kids – all of whom received their cheques in March of 2008
