AGM PUBLISHING was invited along to the launch of Blue September by key sponsor PlaceMakers. The event was held on Tuesday night at the Sky City Grand Hotel. Veteran broadcaster Paul Holmes - a one time sufferer of prostate cancer - kept the crowd entertained as the MC.
Ex-New Zealand basketball player and Good Morning host Brendon Pongia, was appointed as a new ambassador for the charity and he gave a poignant speech about losing his father-in-law to the cancer.
The night kicked off Blue September, which is organised by the Prostate Cancer Foundation to raise awareness for this very serious cancer. Around 600 men die from prostate cancer each year in New Zealand and many of them could have been saved if they had been diagnosed earlier.
Blue September sees a number of events happening around New Zealand over September including a number of events in PlaceMakers stores on Blue Friday 3rd September.
