Why we're fundraising

A trip to the national stage

The AIMS Games is one of the largest middle-school sporting events in the Southern Hemisphere, bringing thousands of young athletes to Tauranga each year.

Getting our team there is a big undertaking — ferries off the island, transport, accommodation, team kit, food and tournament costs all add up. Every contribution, large or small, helps turn months of training into the trip of a lifetime.
