It's that time again e te whānau!!!! Some blood......Lots of Sweat and even the odd tear was present last year as we took on the 2021 challenge in the middle of "monsoon" like weather. A few of us could not walk for a few days afterwards, but it was all for a great cause and naturally we needed to take part in this years challenge to give back

So we are back! please support us raise funds for The Graeme Dingle Foundation Waikato, Climb 4 Youth 2022.

The fundraiser involves all climbers to complete the Hakarimata Upper Lookout Track as many times as possible within 4 hours. Not an easy fea

Every $1 we fundraise and invest provide benefits of $7.80 back into our communities.

Posted by: Graeme Dingle Foundation Waikato

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!
