2024 Masters Hockey World Cup in South Africa - Can you help me raise funds to get there?

$823 donated
Given by 7 generous donors in around 5 months

Please help me represent NZ in Masters Hockey! Support is needed for travel, expenses, and equipment for this self-funded opportunity.

Waitakere, Auckland

Hi, My name is Rachel Saunders, and I am thrilled to announce that I have been selected to represent our country in hockey at the upcoming Masters World Cup, an international competition taking place in South Africa in October. This is an opportunity to showcase our nation's talent on a global stage, compete against the best, and bring pride and honor back home.

I have been playing this sport since I was 8 years old, and a goalkeeper since 11 years old, so I cannot even begin to explain how incredible an opportunity like this is. However, to make this dream a reality, I need your support. As this is completely self-funded, the costs associated with travel, accommodation, training, and equipment are substantial, and I am reaching out to friends, family, and supporters for contributions to help cover these expenses. Any amount, big or small, will make a significant difference and bring me one step closer to representing our country with distinction.

I will be getting an overshirt printed that will be used my training shirt and I would love to include the names of those who donate and the logo's of companies (I am looking for sponsors as well), as a thank-you for your support. Please let me know if you would not like to be a part of this; otherwise, I will add your name/logo to the design, which will be printed once the donation period closes.

Thank you for your generosity and belief in my journey!

5th Place out of 16 Countries :)  31 October 2024

The W35s played an outstanding final match, coming away with a hard-fought 1-1 draw against Scotland. Going to a penalty shootout, the team won 3-1, securing a 5th place finish at the Masters World Cup! An amazing result for a dedicated and hardworking group of players. It’s been an incredible journey, and we couldn’t have done it without the unwavering support of all our family & friends. Thank you for your pride in us as we wore the fern representing NZ! 🖤🤍🏑
