Hoodie Day

Thank you so much for your support of New Zealand Hoodie Day & UN International Youth Day, and for the work that went into your events. We are very happy that this Hoodie Day helped to challenge the stereotypes about both older and younger people, and in some cases bought generations together. Here is a great article from the front page of the Dompost: An oldie but a goodie for hoodie day: The funds you raised can be donated to Hoodie Day organisers NZ Aotearoa Adolescent Health and Development (NZAAHD). NZAAHD works to support, inform and connect organisations that work with youth across New Zealand www.nzaahd.org.nz NZAAHD will pass on 10% of funds raised to their partner organisation Age Concern - to help show that young people care about their older people! Age Concern work to serve the needs of older people in NZ http://www.ageconcern.org.nz/ A representative from the group that raises the most will be flown to Wellington to present a cheque to Age Concern on behalf of all young people in NZ. See our website for details on how to make a direct credit our bank account. Or make a donation on Giveailttle.
