Young entrepreneurs support kids with cancer

Christchurch Family Support Coordinator Cynthia Annear receives a surprise donation of Cookie Munchers from Harewood School students Scott Tynan, Stuart Malden and Mark Wilkinson.

Earlier in the year Harewood School students from years 5-8 were involved in an e-Time Entrepreneur project which involved a series of business challenges. One task they were set was to sell as many Cookie Muncher soft toys as they could within a particular time frame.

However, rather than sell the bears, Scott Tynan, Stuart Malden and Mark Wilkinson came up with the idea of gaining sponsorship from businesses. They then donated the relative number of Cookie Muncher toys to the Child Cancer Foundation for distribution to children with cancer and their brothers and sisters.
