Twelve Days of Christmas

For the fifth year running, Auckland Airport again donated $120,000 in the 12 Days leading up to Christmas. 

Twelve worthy charities were the recipients of $10,000 each and are being announced daily in the NZ Herald in the days leading up to Christmas. 

The $120,000 was collected through the generosity of the travelling public, donating their unwanted currency into donation globes situated throughout the airport.  Auckland Airport collects the money and donates it to charitable organisations on behalf of the travellers.
