Fundraising
Each year we have heaps of riders ask if they can use the event to raise funds for charity. We’re excited to have adopted a multi-charity approach and have teamed up with Grassrootz so you can raise funds for your favourite charity.
We’re thrilled to have Prostate Cancer Foundation NZ, I AM HOPE and Upside Youth Mentoring as our Hero Charities for this year’s event. If you don’t have a charity of choice, you can help these wonderful charities by setting up an online fundraising page and making a donation when you do your online entry. They would love your support.
Every day, 10 New Zealanders will hear the words: “I’m so sorry, you have prostate cancer.”
Prostate Cancer Foundation NZ is an independent charity, community funded and receives no government support. We rely on the generosity of kind-hearted kiwis like you to help fund our support services for men living with prostate cancer and their whānau including:
free nurse-led Information Service
free 24/7 Counselling Service
Support Groups and Online Support Forum
free educational resources.
Your gift today can help make sure that no one will have to go through the heartbreak of prostate cancer without the support they need.
Every young person deserves to feel heard, supported and hopeful. Support I AM HOPE.
I Am Hope is helping change the way New Zealand talks about mental health through education, advocacy and access to support.
Through Gumboot Friday, more than 150,000 free counselling sessions have been delivered to young people across Aotearoa — with no GP referral required.
Our Little People, Big Feelings programme has also reached more than 47,000 students, helping children navigate bullying, anxiety, self-doubt and grief with resilience and hope.
Your support helps create real, measurable change for young Kiwis.
Upside Youth Mentoring Aotearoa exists to help young people build belief – in themselves, in others, and in their future.
Through effective early intervention, we support young people aged 9–13 facing challenges by connecting them with trained, dedicated volunteer mentors.
Since 2006, our long-term community mentoring has restored confidence, strengthened resilience and created belonging. And this year, we’re excited to launch an innovative online mentoring pilot – the first of its kind in NZ.
At a time of rising youth distress, the need has never been greater. Your support will help build a stronger future for young people across New Zealand.
