Jerard’s Punch with Purpose 5

My name is Jerard & I am participating in Ōtepoti Boxing Club's Punch with Purpose 5 charity boxing match being held on Saturday October 4th 2025 at Dunedin Town Hall.

I am raising funds for Foster Hope, an incredible charity that helps Foster children & their caregivers throughout Aotearoa during transitional periods where these tamariki at times don't have any support.

Foster Hope does amazing mahi including setting tamariki up with backpacks that contain essentials, warm pjs & special personal items when sometimes all they arrive with to new placements are the clothes off their back.

They support caregivers with costs for camps so young ones can grow, connect and thrive giving them the opportunity to experience something they may not have been able to otherwise.

They provide flat packs for our older kids aging out of care & transitioning into their first flats with the items they need so they can feel supported to navigate their way in the world.

They provide much more support & for more information you can check out the web page at fosterhope.org.nz

I would like to ask everyone and anyone who is able, to please donate anything here supporting me on this journey & most importantly this truly inspiring cause!

Thank you to the Crown Hotel Dunedin for being my sponsor!
