We have the BEST village. Back in March, Travis Field and the team at Fantail and Turtle (the #1 Gastropub in NZ!) hosted a stellar fundraising lunch for Big Buddy. Thanks to the incredible support of our guests and donors they raised over $50k for Big Buddy, and we are so grateful! These funds will go towards helping us make a positive difference in the lives of not just the Little Buddy, but their mum, their Big Buddy and the community around them. At this event we were privileged to hear from Jody (mum of Little Buddy Kobi) and Mark, his Big Buddy, who shared their inspiring stories and the impact that Big Buddy has had on their lives. Also, a huge thank you to Michael Dearth for being our guest speaker, and all the companies that donated products to the lunch, the auction, and those who bought a table - you have all made a lasting difference to so many lives.
