Friday May 7th 2010 is New Zealand's fourth annual balloon day to help the Asthma Foundation raise money for child asthma research.

Balloon day is proudly supported by Mitre 10 and Pink Batts. The campaign's objectives are simple: to increase awareness of the effects of respiratory disease in New Zealand, and to raise money for child asthma research.

Kane Williamson has made a huge impact on this seasons One Day series and was the runaway winner of the Mitre10 MVP honour. 

Modern cricket is dynamic and the best measure of a players contribution to a teams performance is through the Mitre10 MVP rankings. Williamson can be very proud of his efforts in securing this honour as being the best One Day cricketer in the competition, in what is just his second season at this level.

Over the past month Mitre 10 Mega stores across the country have held a series of DIY Ladies Nights that have raised over $100,000 for the Breast Cancer Research Trust. 

Many may say don't work with animals or children but we never shy away from a challenge.
