We had a fantastic night at our Burgers, Beers and Brilliant Sportspeople event on Monday 8 May, raising more than $203,000.

Kaeo, Te Rarawa, Otamatea, Tomarata, Eastern Kaiwaka, Maungaturoto, Wellsford, and Onerahi Rugby Clubs
The Milford Foundation will provide financial aid to support repairs to rugby club room infrastructure and replace essential training equipment.

Waka Ama Club, Gisborne
The Marina Park training ground for this club as well as the river was contaminated due to the damage that the cyclone did to the sewerage pipe infrastructure. The area was also severely damaged. All the small Waka were buried and destroyed beyond repair which has driven New Zealand’s oldest Waka Ama club to a halt. The Milford Foundation will replace the lost Waka.

Tairawhiti Adventure Trust
With the beaches unsafe, playgrounds unusable, and the river full of sewage, there is little joy for youth in Gisborne post-cyclone. Milford Foundation will fund a new Pump Track in Tolaga Bay which was heavily impacted.

Tapuae Sports Club, Wairoa
The clubrooms and change room facilities suffered severe damage. The Milford Foundation will provide funding to assist in the repair of their clubrooms, changing rooms and plumbing infrastructure.

Wairoa Netball, Wairoa
With 39 teams registered to start the season in May, this club lost every single item of their equipment, the club laptop and all the netball posts that used to sit proudly across 8 courts. The Milford Foundation will replace all lost equipment including netball posts  and the club laptop as well as fund a temporary storage facility for the season.
