250 Donations for 250 Positive Stories
To our beloved Giants whanau and wider community,
Our 11th year has kicked off well with some verypositive stories and outcomes throughout term one. We have just arrived backfrom a self-funded 3 day Easter camp in New Plymouth with our competitive boxers.This trip has proven that they are now ready for competitive matches in term two and beyond.
As you all know, our goal and vision for our people isfar greater than just the sport of boxing. Many of you have heard, seen and felt the wonders of our teams effort to help “Young people live lives theyvalue”. The Hawkes Bay Youth Trust is committed to making generational changeto those who we come into contact with through our programs.
So it is with a challenged but excited heart that I, Coach Craig, and the HB Youth Trust reach out to you for some financial support to help us deliver another year of positively impacting our treasured HB community in 2026. Finances have been tough for all of us over the last few years, and in recent times it has hit again. However, we focus on the cup being half full rather than empty or we continue to learn to dance in the rain rather than waiting for the storm to pass!
