HELP US SOLVE A GOOD PROBLEM !

Given by 57 generous donors in 7 weeks

Help us build on our $10,000.00 grant to be able to purchase a new four / quad to compete the best we can

Auckland

Westlake Boys High School Rowing needs your help to solve a GOOD problem that we have!

Since Covid-19 came along and changed life as we know it, we have been prevented from being able to raise money by our normal means…The good news is that recently we have been granted $10,000.00 from NZCT to go towards a much needed new four/quad rowing skiff. The bad news is that we don’t have enough funds to pay for the balance of the skiff.

Our mission is “We want to build champions and champion young men”. The boys commit to hard work and long hours of training throughout the year on and off the water to achieve this. We would love all our boys the chance to race a four or quad event, but we simply don’t have enough skiffs to do this.

Would you please help us make up the shortfall of $20,000 to acquire a new four/quad skiff? Our goal is to raise these funds based on the principal that “If a lot of people give a little, it will add up to a lot”

We have set up this page so that anyone can donate and help give our boys a chance to compete on the water. We only have until 18th November 2020 to raise all the funds we need otherwise we have to forfeit our grant, and that would be no good!

PLEASE HELP US SOLVE OUR GOOD PROBLEM AND DONATE TODAY

*ALL DONATIONS OVER $5 ARE TAX-DEDUCTIBLE

THANK YOU
