The perfect stocking filler has arrived this Christmas - CanTeen has teamed up with celebrity CanTeen ambassadors and released six individually designed mugs to follow on from the popular 2009 Bandanna Challenge.

Each CanTeen ambassador, including rugby legend Dan Carter, singer Hollie Smith, marathon runner Lisa Tamati, and netball star Maria Tutaia, has designed their own mug, with all proceeds going towards supporting teenagers living with cancer.

Hollie Smith, singer and CanTeen Ambassador, says, “The CanTeen mugs are the perfect Christmas gift that will give to those who need it most. We hope that they will make a little bit of difference to teenagers dealing with cancer.”

Dan Carter, All Black rugby legend and CanTeen ambassador, says, “It would be awesome if Kiwis filled their stockings with CanTeen mugs and gave them to family and friends, so we can raise enough money to support CanTeeners this Christmas and summer holidays.”

The six brightly coloured mugs, which match CanTeen’s 2009 Bandannas are available in selected New World and PAK’nSAVE stores nationwide.
