OUTREACH Our national fundraising and awareness campaign rose to the next level in 2023. The campaign is all about green – representing the international colour for Cerebral Palsy – Hōkai Nukurangi. We saw members, schools and businesses across the motu going green in some pretty creative ways. Be Green & Be Seen – Kia kākāriki, kia kitea is held in October, to coincide with World Cerebral Palsy Day on October 6, but we welcome fundraising, activities and events year-round. We heard the requests of the supporters of the Society who were after a way to fundraise for the Society that included something physical and had a team building aspect to it. So, in 2023 we introduced #beACTIVE. #beACTIVE is about members, friends of the Society, supporters, businesses and schools selecting a physical activity, creating their own fundraising page and seeking support as they complete their challenge. People were quick to get behind the campaign and had a great time rowing, spending time at the gym and completing marathons. Once again, we were thrilled with the Be Green & Be Seen – Kia kākāriki, kia kitea support we received and incredibly grateful for the $18,170 participants raised for the Society. Be Green & Be Seen Campaign to support our 2024 campaign!
