Participating in Climb 4 Youth 2022
Hamilton, Waikato
This year four McCaw Lewis team members will be Climbing 4 Youth! Ashleigh Fairhead, Chantelle Tyler, Jessica Middleton, and Danielle Robinson will be looping the 3km Kauri Loop Track in the Hakarimata Scenic Reserve to support the mahi of the Graeme Dingle Foundation - an organisation who are as passionate about empowering young people to succeed and overcome life’s obstacles as we are. We’ll be supported by the McCaw Lewis Foundation.
About the McCaw Lewis Foundation:
The vision of the McCaw Lewis Foundation is Healthy and Happy Waikato Youth, and our work is underpinned by the values of Empathy, Honesty and Compassion.
The Foundation is a Charitable Trust with seven trustees who are all McCaw Lewis staff members. They, along with the wider McCaw Lewis whānau, are committed to helping as many young people in our community as possible
In early 2020, the Foundation chose to form a partnership with The Graeme Dingle Foundation.
McCaw Lewis is a commercial law firm based in Hamilton, who live by Māori values and tikanga. We offer a comprehensive suite of legal services with a focus on commercial, Te Tiriti o Waitangi, property, dispute resolution, asset planning, environmental/natural resources, workplace law and Māori land. Our firm is driven by three key values: Whāia te iti kahurangi, Manaakitanga and Kotahitanga.
They did it! 30 May 2022
What a day!
A total of 70 climbers came together on Saturday to complete between 1 and 8 laps of the Hakarimata Upper Lookout (via Kauri Loop) Track within 4 hours. Through this, our second ever Climb 4 Youth event achieved:
👏 A total of 284 return trips (852kms)
👏 Over $23,000 in fundraising so far (over $179,400 of returns for our community!!)
👏 Proof that we can overcome life’s obstacles
A big tino pai rawa atu to all the 2022 climbers, volunteers, donors and business supporters. All of this would not be made possible without your continued support.
We are also hugely grateful for the number of generous event-specific sponsors: Kennards Hire Te Rapa, Studio 386 Screenprint, Countdown Supermarkets Bridge Street, Mobicomm Limited, PrintRun, H3 Group NZ, Bivouac Outdoor Hamilton, and Stuff Waikato.
We are still trying to reach our fundraising goal, so please donate and ensure we can continue empowering our youth through our programmes!
