Successful appeal
PA Wellington The Crippled Children Society’s recent annual house-to-house appeal was 50 per cent more successful than last year’s appeal. More than $350,000 was collected during the week, compared with $226,000 last year, from the society’s 32 centres, said its national publicity officer, Ms Mary Balfour. The biggest increase was in Auckland, where the society’s first door-to-door collection in 44 years realised $llO,OOO, she said.
The society does not have a nationally-organised appeal, but collects at branch level usually during Crippled Children Week in late May.
