the Blue Do event at the<br />

Last year $1758 had been<br />

lives of more than 600 kiwi<br />
men this year.<br />
‘‘We have had acouple of<br />
regulars die from prostate cancer<br />
over the last couple of<br />
years, so it’s been close to<br />
home for us,’’ she said.<br />
Mrs Hamilton said the Blue<br />
Do evening ran from 6pm and<br />
until midnight.<br />
The band Nine Lives would<br />
perform from 7pm until the<br />
start ofthe live rugby (9.45pm<br />
kick off) and then again after<br />
the game was over.<br />
She said fundraising at the<br />
Turf Bar was running throughout<br />
<strong>September</strong> and to date<br />
around $500 had been raised<br />
through raffles and other<br />
initiatives.<br />
The aim was to beat last<br />
year’s total.<br />
Over 45 Mid Canterbury and<br />
Christchurch businesses have<br />
donated a wide variety of<br />
prizes for the prostate cancer<br />
cause. Prizesinclude askydive,<br />
restaurant vouchers, motel<br />
