Fisher Funds is running and raising funds for First Foundation and to support one young person through year 13 and a degree.

Auckland

More than 50 people who work at Fisher Funds are tackling the mighty Taupo Ultramarathon to raise funds for First Foundation, who help unleash the potential of super smart young people in low socio economic areas to support them in Year 13 and through a degree.

If we reach our goal, we will be able to support one scholar during their four year journey. We've managed to convince the boss to chip in too, so we're all fired up to reach our goal.
