Treasured Art Exhibition and Auction
Our last Treasured Art event was based at the Tauranga Yacht Club in Keith Allen Drive. Beautiful views, spatial venue and plenty of parking. Beautiful artwork is sold at exhibition and auctioned off to fundraise for the Graeme Dingle Foundation.
Crystal Palace Fundraising Breakfast
We hosted a breakfast at the Crystal Palace as part of the Tauranga Arts Festival program raising funds for Waipuna Hospice. Guest speaker Jared Savage, a two-time NZ Reporter of the Year and who has carved his niche reporting on
organised crime, went behind the headlines of his books to tell us tales of turf wars, retaliation and retribution. His books 𝘎𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘥 and 𝘎𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳'𝘴 𝘗𝘢𝘳𝘢𝘥𝘪𝘴𝘦 are fascinating reads!
Behind Closed Doors Fundraiser
Rotary Club of Tauranga Sunrise understands the principles that drive Tauranga Community Housing Trust to do the work that they do. Proceeds from this event were donated to help their work which enhances the wellbeing of individuals, families and community by providing quality, appropriate and affordable housing.
On the 4th of November, we held an event to provide people with a whole day of surprises. Seven homes that are not what they appear to be. A self-driving tour in and around Tauranga
Kindest Possible Wish: Whisky Tasting
The Kindest Possible Wish Fund raiser to support Youth in our community.
Over a few drams of whisky a couple of friends and fellow Rotarians were discussing how they could raise money for the youth in the area. The answer was right in their hands, and the start of the Kindest Possible Wish was born.
A tutored tasting of some very special Whiskies, plus cash raffle with great prizes.
