Help get Briar and Emily to the World Junior Ultimate Frisbee Championships in England!

Thank you so much for checking out our page - it means a lot to us!

We are two 17-year-old friends, from Takapuna Grammar School, who were recently selected in the NZ U20 Women's team for the World Junior Ultimate Championships! We are so excited! It is a dream come true to represent our country in a sport we love.

The frisbee tournament is over in England in July this year. This doesn't give us much time to fund-raise the money for the three pre-tournament training weekends,the travel, accommodation, meals, event registration, uniform, etc. for the 2 week trip to the UK.

We are both very focused and committed to our training. Over the past year we have trained together with a development squad made up of 40 players from around the country. We feel honoured and humbled to be selected in the group of 20 to go to the World Championships.

The collective cost of 3 intensive training weekends, plus the trip to compete at the World Championships (for both of us) is $19,200. We are aiming to fundraise as much as possible. As hard-working students with demanding training schedules, there is only limited time that we can commit to paid work. Any income we do manage to get from any part-time / casual work will go towards the travel fund. Given the time-frames we will fall well short of the required budget without fundraising assistance.

We would really appreciate any donations, large or small, to help us reach our goal and compete in England.

Thank you so much

Briar Carter and Emily McNamara
