“We’ve run amazing races in the past but this year we wanted to do something special and gift the items to three organisations who do a lot of good in the community. Each organisation received a hula hoop, a skipping rope, a basketball, netball, a scooter and stand, a bike, two helmets, a bike multi-purpose tool and a five-game set.”
Representatives from Big Brother Big Sister Taranaki, Tūtaki and the Roderique Hope Trust were at the East End Bowling Club to meet and thank the competitors.
Tūtaki general manager Nelson Pulotu and Roderique Hope Trust board member says the two organisations appreciate the donation.
“We’re grateful to be considered for this. All three organisations work with young people and Connect Legal Taranaki being willing to donate to these corporations is a big help to our tamariki.”
Big Brother Big Sister Taranaki programme director Paul Lampe says the support is appreciated.
“We’re very thankful for their help.
Alexis says supporting these organisations is important to Connect Legal Taranaki.
“All of these organisations do great work in the community. There is a lot of value in what they do.”
She says without the support of sponsors, this wouldn’t have been possible.
“We’re very appreciative of our sponsors, with East End Skating Rink giving us a discount on using skates for the event.”
