Please support me in the Battle of the Rebuild by giving generously to my chosen charity, Pillars.

Nationwide

My charity does amazing work in the community, so I’m proud to raise funds for them in the Battle of the Rebuild Charity Boxing Event.

On any given day an estimated 20,000 children have a parent in prison in New Zealand.

The Pillars Vision is that every child who has a parent in a New Zealand prison has access to the right support and services time to help them cope with parental imprisonment.

They aim to break the cycle of inter-generational offending and give them hope and a positive future.

Please support us by giving generously!

100% of donations go directly to Pillars.

Pillars was founded over 25 years ago in Christchurch to support the vulnerable of the vulnerable children in our community.

We thank you, Darren for choosing to fight for Pillars, every cent you raise helps us to support another role model like you to be a volunteer mentor.

We are right behind you all the way to 12 September when you will step in the ring and make a difference to a child’s ability to walk a positive path, free of crime. Kia Kaha!

The team at Pillars.

Team Event's involvement (page creator)

I am competing in the 2015 Battle of the Rebuild. I have committed to 8 weeks of intense boxing training leading up to fight night, with the goal to raise $5000 for my chosen charity.

Battle of the Rebuild was created by Enth Degree, the event company behind the successful charity boxing events of Christchurch that have raised over $1 Million for numerous Charities since 2010.

The Battle of the Rebuild is a Black Tie, Red Carpet event. It is a night of glitz and glam with the who’s who of the Christchurch, all with the outstanding objective of raising funds for numerous charities.

C’mon Christchurch! Get behind the guys and girls who are helping to rebuild our city, and join us for the largest construction event to HIT Christchurch!
