A special event to raise funds for grass root community projects in areas devastated by Cyclone Gabrielle.
Thanks to our sponsors
The Milford Foundation, with the support of Milford, has put together a brilliant, one-of-a-kind fundraising evening at Auckland’s Eden Park. This unique event with some of New Zealand’s top sportspeople is sure to provide yarns you’ll dine out on for years to come.
Don’t delay. Tickets are selling fast!
The devastation caused by Cyclone Gabrielle was unprecedented for our small country, but it’s in these tough times that Kiwis do what we do best.
We rally.
We show overwhelmed communities that we’re there for them.
So, in Hawke’s Bay, Gisborne and Northland, the cameras and the news cycle might move on, but we won’t. We will be stepping in to make a difference within the communities that need our support most.
When:
Monday 8 May, 6pm – 10.30pm
Where:
Eden Park, Auckland
A Reserve $300:
Only 130 seats. Tables of 10 available. Ticket price includes a Brilliant Sportsperson at your table (11th seat).

Together, we want to raise a minimum of $300,000
Every cent of the funds raised will go directly to support specific projects that have a meaningful social and environmental impact in the most affected communities. In fact, we are liaising right now with key leaders in each of these regions to identify the right projects that we can see through from the beginning to the end, with your support.
Share in our purpose alongside Rob and Sonia Waddell, rugby greats Sir Graham Henry, Kieran Read, Sir Michael Jones and Sir John Kirwan, as well as golf caddy legend Steve Williams and Black Sticks hockey representatives Liz Thompson, Grace O’Hanlon and Jacob Smith – to name just a few.
Every cent of every ticket purchased and auction item sold will go directly to the projects we will be supporting.
You can view and bid on boutique items and sporting memorabilia in our silent auction any time before the event – even if you are not attending.
If you are unable to attend but would still like to make a tax deductible donation, you are welcome to do so here.
There is an impressive array of boutique items and sporting memorabilia available in our silent auction. You can bid at any time before the event – even if you can’t join us on the night. You can also peruse the live auction items that will be sold at the event.
We have experiences money normally can’t buy – such as a behind-the-scenes visit to Newstalk ZB Breakfast Show or TV3’s AM. There’s some fine wine and whisky, lunch and dinner vouchers, beauty treatments, impressive art, and signed memorabilia.
Keep checking back here for more auction items, right up to the event.
The Milford Foundation was established by Milford nearly two years ago to support charities working to make a sustainable difference for future generations of New Zealanders. We are steadfast in our commitment to youth, education and the environment.
This event is wholeheartedly designed to support grassroot projects that are unlikely to receive funding in flood-affected regions. We will follow the work we fund every step of the way, and report back so you can be part of the journey to making a difference.
This is a one-of-a-kind event where your being there will not only make a big difference, but you will also be part of sporting brilliance, all coming together for our cause. Let’s rally together to support those who have lost so much.
