TFDDivasMtEverestChallenge

Tarnished Frocks and Divas show was inspired by the memory of a dear friend Barb which saw a group of enthusiastic and talented women, with strong backgrounds in the arts, join together in 2005 and put on a show to celebrate and showcase women’s talents and the passion for life. After that first sell out show many other amazing women have gone on to produce outstanding shows which are proudly staged biannually in Tauranga. Tarnished Frocks and Divas is committed to featuring women over 40. The event is a volunteer based performance that aims to enrich lives by inspiring people to challenge themselves, create new goals and to be a positive influence on family, friends and the wider community.

And now a challenge has been put forwarded by MoreFM as a fundraiser for Homes of Hope, to climb Mauao in Mount Maunganui 38 times which will be equivalent to climbing Mt Everest. A group of enthusiastic Divas from past shows have accepted the challenge and over the next 30 days will be seen going up and down Mauao with the goal to raise $1000 for Homes of Hope.
