Help fund Dave Bendall to go to Spain to represent New Zealand at the World Kickboxing Association championships.

Canterbury

Dave is an up and coming champion in kickboxing having just received an invitation to represent New Zealand at the WKA (World Kickboxing Association) championship in Spain, November 2015. As the WKA championships are an amateur event, competitors are not paid for the event so Dave must fund the trip himself.

Dave is a serious contender for winning in the WKA world championship. At his young age, he has numerous championships already to his name including:

2014 New Zealand K1 Cruiserweight Title

2013 North Island K1 Cruiserweight Title

2014 South island Muay Thai Title

8 wins from 12 fights

He also is a black rank under BJC with nearly 9 years of Muay Thai training and is also a kickboxing instructor who has trained other titleholders in the sport.

To travel to Spain, he will need a trainer to go with him to support him and be part of his corner crew during his fights when he is there. The total cost for each person attending is $6000.

This is a massive achievement for New Zealand to send a fighter of this calibre to the WKA world championships. We need to get some funds to send Dave there!

PUNCH (Proactive United Charitable Hombu)'s involvement (page creator)

Dave is part of the Proactive Martial Arts Dojo in Christchurch. Fighters in the dojo are supported by PUNCH (Proactive United Charitable Hombu), a non profit group run by senior Proactive students.

PUNCH promotes martial arts and organises fundraising and events that support learning and development of fighters, as well as helping them to fund travel to compete in events.

We want to see Dave make it to Spain to represent the best of New Zealand kickboxing on the world stage.

2% Effective Fee
On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
