Fundraising for a new high jump mat.
Mount Roskill, Auckland
There's a real buzz about high jump at Owai and we're looking to fundraise in order to buy a new high jump mat. Under the supervision of Nanne, our jumps coach, our athletes are jumping higher than ever and we need a deeper high jump mat so they can be safer when they land.
The current mat has done great service over the years but it is showing its age and needs to be bigger so our kids don't fly off the back!
It's a big ticket item and we are seeking to partly fund it from donations from both individuals and companies. There are opportunities for naming rights and to print company names for any larger donations, if required. Feel free to get in touch about this. club@owaiathletics.co.nz Thanks very much for your support.
A bigger and safer high jump mat for our athletes to land on.
Support from Hamish Kerr 21 June 2023
We heard a story that Hamish Kerr's grandfather Alan Kerr was an Owai member way back and brought Hamish down to Lovelock a couple of times when he was young so we checked it out with Hamish who confirmed: "Yes my grandad Alan was a member for a long time in the 80s I believe! He was a marathon guy. I never jumped at Lovelock I don't think but I'm stoked you guys are getting a new mat." So that's a neat connection. Check out the video of Hamish in action competing in Europe earlier this year.
By the way, very exciting news about the campaign coming soon... thanks everyone.
