Bay of Plenty

I'm dropping for youth! Helping the Bay of Plenty's young people discover what they have inside is greater than any obstacle.

I am passionate about supporting youth and excited to be partnering with the Graeme Dingle Foundation to have a positive impact on young people in the region, through their Programmes Kiwi Can, Stars, Career Navigator and Project K, The Graeme Dingle Foundation Western Bay of Plenty reach 3,800 tamariki and rangatahi each week, helping them to build confidence and resilience, learn valuable life skills, tackle life’s challenges, and build bright futures.

To continue this amazing work they need our support, so in recognition of the challenges our young people face in this ever-changing world and the obstacles they overcome on a daily basis, I will be overcoming my own obstacle and jumping out of a plane! Please donate to this amazing cause and support the Graeme Dingle Foundation in helping our young people reach their potential. Every $500 raised helps another 2 children for a year, so every dollar raised really does make a difference. All funds raised will be used to cover programme delivery costs within the Western Bay of Plenty region.

Update from Michael on Drop For Youth  18 November 2024

Hello - thanks for your donations, thanks to you I am getting close ($1120) to the $1500 target. I've been using the Dale Carnegie worry and stress principles especially, use the law of averages to outlaw your worries (1 death every 195,000 jumps) & they probably died of fright. I tried the 3 worsts 1. Whats the worst that can happen 2. accept the worst 3. improve on the worst. That one didnt work as I could improve really improve on the worst. Dropping for Youth has made me appreciate my opportunities growing up and living in NZ. Cheers Michael
