Kia ora koutou,
This term, Westport North School joined in on the fun with “Dunk It for Plunket”, a fundraiser that helps keep Plunket services running strong here on the Coast.
Although the official campaign ran during September, Westport North were a bit busy at the end of last term, so they held their event this term instead. Students had a great time voting for which teacher they wanted to see get dunked, and today was the big moment! I was lucky enough to attend and even helped tip the ice-cold water over the winning teacher — much to the delight of the tamariki!
We also want to give a huge shoutout to St Canice’s School, who took part during September and did an awesome job fundraising for Plunket.
Events like these make such a big difference — 100% of the funds raised stay local, helping Plunket continue to support families and children right here on the Coast. We simply couldn’t do it without our amazing community.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who participated, donated, or cheered on from the sidelines. Your support truly keeps Plunket afloat!
And if you’re a local business keen to get involved next year, we’d love to hear from you. It doesn’t have to involve a chilly dunking — you could host a morning tea and dunk a bikkie instead!
Ngā mihi nui,
Brier & Lani
