Red Dragon Thaiboxing is built on people

$1,425 donated
Given by 10 generous donors in 4 weeks

We’ve seen lives change here. Young people choosing training over trouble. Fighters learning discipline, respect, and self-belief.

Tauranga, Bay Of Plenty

Red Dragon Thaiboxing was built on more than punches and pads — it was built on people.

For many who walk through our doors, this gym becomes their safe place. A place where broken confidence is rebuilt, where kids find direction, and where people who’ve felt lost finally feel like they belong.

We’ve seen lives change on these mats. Young people choosing training over trouble. Fighters learning discipline, respect, and self-belief. Whānau finding strength together when life feels heavy.

Your donation helps us keep this space alive. It helps us support our fighters, provide equipment, and continue offering opportunities to those who need it most — even when they can’t afford it.

Every dollar is a reminder that our community cares. That our people are seen. That this whānau matters.

Thank you for believing in Red Dragon Thaiboxing and standing with us. ❤️🥊

Shanz Mckendrick's involvement (page creator)

This gym isn’t just something I’m involved in — it’s a huge part of my life. I’ve watched it grow into a second home for so many, including my whānau. Now it’s time for me to help make a massive impact for others.

Use of funds

All funds raised go directly back into Red Dragon Thaiboxing and our people, supporting equipment upgrades, world champs, fighter apparel, and helping cover competition fees, travel, and essentials so our fighters can train and compete.

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.
