I’m participating in the Graeme Dingle Foundation Waikato - Climb 4 Youth 2022!
Hamilton, Waikato
As an HR & Recruitment Consultant, I have time and time again seen the value that youth leadership development and mentoring programs have provided for people later in their life journey. The more resources for values based programs like those offered by Graeme Dingle Foundation Waikato the better our businesses and communities are in the long run.
I am a newbie and have no idea how it will go. My goal is 3 loops and $1,500. These may be low targets?? But I have to start somewhere, and for those who know me I live by - Carpe Diem and incremental achievements. So we can always achieve more and set the bar high for next year. ;o)
So please join me in supporting the Graeme Dingle Foundation Waikato!
BACKGROUND
The Graeme Dingle Foundation Waikato are running a fundraising event at the Hakarimata Kauri Loop Track in Ngaruawahia. Climbers will be proving that what they have inside is greater than the obstacle they face. By setting and achieving return trips, and a fundraising goal, they will be role-modelling our mission of empowering young people to overcome life’s obstacles.
The Hakarimata Kauri Loop track sits 260m above sea level. The Track is 3km long consisting of 1,500 steps! Climbers will have a 4-hour period to complete their set target of return trips.
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!
