Hi everyone!
Sorry for the delay with the video, it took me a while to upload it. Please enjoy my Drop For Youth 2021 drop, and thank you for donating to such an amazing cause.
Kind regards,
Blake
Thank you so much for getting involved with my Drop For Youth Fundraising. In total, we raised $1060 for the Graeme Dingle Foundation, and I cannot thank you enough for it.
Later on tonight, I will attach a video of my drop so you can see the impact of your support.
Once again, thank you all for donating. You have absolutely smashed my initial goal and helped many children and youth with your donations.
Insane. Absolutely insane.
When I started this fundraiser, I didn't expect to get that much. It would have been a good effort and I would have donated a bit of money to a good cause. What I did not expect was to be sitting here writing about how we've just crossed ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS and are currently sitting on $1020 (technically $995 thanks to Givealittle fees). We have absolutely smashed the original goal of $780.
I honestly cannot thank each and every one of you enough for your contributions and your support to me. You have helped me achieve this goal, and I am forever grateful.
If you'd like to watch me drop off the Kawarau Bridge in person, come to Queenstown on the 30th of October from 2 - 4pm, when this event is taking place. Alternatively, you can come back to this page after the event which will include photos and videos of my drop, just in case you weren't able to make it.
Once again, thanks for your support! I couldn't have done this without you.
Please see previous update for more information on this. I believe that we can reach $1000 after already raising $920, so any help would be appreciated. If you can't, then thank you for your donations so far to this fundraiser, no matter the amount.
I am honestly in complete and utter shock. To hit $780 in just 25 days is already amazing, but to add an extra $140 on top of that? To me, that is absolutely insane, and it couldn't have been done without your donations.
Thank you to everyone who donated, no matter what amount, because you have helped not only the Graeme Dingle Foundation Southland bring programs such as KidsCan to schools, but you've also helped me jump off a bridge at the end of October.
With that said, considering we are already on $920, I believe that we can make it to the big $1000. If you would like to donate any amount towards this, feel free to do so. If you'd like to, you could also share this with some of your friends, who might want to help donate to this amazing cause.
Finally, consider having a look at the other participants in this fundraiser. Your donation to them could be the step they need to reach that amazing $780 goal.
Thanks again for your support, and onto the $1000 goal!
To the person who donated $300, thank you so so much. I am absolutely floored that I would receive such a donation. I wish I could thank you by name, but as you've requested to remain private, I hope you signed up to updates from me so that you can see how honestly greatful I am. You have pushed me to just $90 from my goal, and at the same time helped so many children and teenagers thanks to the Graeme Dingle Foundation.
That said, if you haven't already, please sign up to updates from me to keep informed on my progress towards the $780 goal! Any and all donations are appreciated.
Thanks once again, and on to the final $100!
$390.
Three hundred and ninety dollars.
That amount alone is outstanding, but being able to reach halfway to our goal in just 15 days is absolutely insane.
Thank you so much for all your support, and on to the next $390!
If you haven't already, the best thing to do when you make your donation is to add the top-up as well. The top-up makes sure that every cent you donate to me goes to great causes and pays for the cost of Givealittle to cover expenses. On a $5 donation, that's only 25c more.
Thanks once again for helping me and supporting the Graeme Dingle Foundation!
To the people who have donated so far, thank you so much! A quarter of the way there in 7 days is absolutely outstanding, and I honestly can't thank you enough.
I don't like to be pushy, but if you have friends or family who would like to support, direct them to this page and help give towards an amazing cause.
Thanks again!
The ‘Growing Great Futures – Whakatipu Tamariki Ora’ report prepared by Infometrics, showed that every dollar invested in Graeme Dingle Foundation’s programmes is expected to result in a long-term benefit to New Zealand of $7.80.
Because of this, the goal for this fundraiser is at least $780, and you can help! Donate any amount today, and all will go to supporting youth development.
