AUCKLAND, New Zealand - Auckland City FC is pleased to support the Mercy Hospice 'Just for Kicks' quiz event that takes place at the Grand Millenium in Auckland tonight.

The sporting quiz theme comes with a celebrity twist, and it promises to be a hugely entertaining affair.

With two competing panels of New Zealand sporting legends plus the talented Laura McGoldrick as MC, as well as full catering from the chefs at the Grand Millennium, Mercy Hospice is confident it will be one of their most popular events.

Tables will be competing against some of the most well-known Kiwi athletes, as well as each other, throughout the evening as well as having the opportunity to get amongst the bidding at our live auction, where all sorts of sporting experiences and memorabilia will be up for grabs.

Adding to the entertainment will be Shaun Wallace from 'The Chase'. 

"Seven people die in Auckland every day and three out of those seven are living with a life limiting condition and will have never been seen by Mercy Hospice.

"This means they have not seen a specialist palliative care doctor and would not have had the expert care that Mercy Hospice can provide.

"These people need specialist care but do not have access to it as Hospice.

"Mercy Hospice want to do better, and we can do better to reach the people of Auckland who need it the most, but we an only do it with your help," a Mercy Hospice spokesperson told www.aucklandcityfc.com.

They added: "Kiwis love our sport and what better way to test our knowledge than against our very own sporting idols and a competitive spirit will suffice. We also need Kiwi athletes to sit in amongst our VIP tables - mixing and mingling with the attendees and hopefully providing some answers along the way.

"We promise it will be a fantastic experience and one that will affect the lives of many through your involvement with Mercy Hospice."

Auckland City FC chairman Ivan Vuksich has committed to the Mercy Hospice cause with a donation of a signed Dynasty playing shirt, a club scarf and a season ticket package with the overall value of $400.00.

"We recognise the good work Mercy Hospice does for the Auckland community and we want to help make the 'Just for Kicks' quiz event as successful as possible by making this donation.

"The players and coaching staff were only too happy to sign the shirt and get it into the hands of Mercy Hospice for their big night.

"Auckland City FC wishes Mercy Hospice every success for 'Just for Kicks'," Vuksich said.
