Help send Robert to the IBF Senior World Championships in Reno, Nevada, USA October 13-24, 2025.

Tauranga, Bay Of Plenty

Moving from the United States to New Zealand in 2018, I have become an avid participant in the tenpin bowling community in New Zealand. I have been named to the New Zealand National team over the past several years, and became a New Zealand citizen in 2024.

I was selected this year to represent New Zealand at the IBF Senior World Championships in Reno, Nevada, USA from October 13-24, 2025.

As some of you are aware, I was made redundant by my employer in June, 2024. Although I am working again, this 8 month hiatus has depleted our savings. In an effort to fulfill a life long dream of bowling in a world championship, I am turning to friends, family, and my fellow bowlers to help with airfare, hotel, and bowling costs.

Use of funds

Airfare, housing/hotel, bowling, and administrative costs.
