Friend of Big Buddy Nadia Lim

We are so grateful for the generosity of Friend of Big Buddy Nadia Lim.

This incredibly busy woman does whatever she can for us, including hosting guests.

Annette, Chris, Janie, Brent and Steve’s expectations were totally exceeded, when they won a one-of-a-kind auction item from our Fantail & Turtle fundraising lunch, to have lunch with Nadia.

Not only did they have lunch with Nadia at Gibbston Valley and tour Peregine Wines, but she also gave them a personal tour of her Farm, topping an unbelievable day in the South Island sun.

Thanks Nadia. Big Buddy appreciated your warmth and support.
