THANK YOU!
We are finally on our way to New York for Broadway classes, dance and singing workshops, and performances in NYC and Disney Orlando. Eighteen months ago, we embarked on this incredible fundraising journey, and we’ve been overwhelmed by the support from our amazing community. It’s often said that it takes a village, and our village truly came through!
We want to extend our deepest gratitude to all of you who supported us—whether through cheering us on, sharing our posts, or purchasing from us. We've loved presenting events, delivering samosas, and sampling the cookies with you. Looking back, it’s been quite a ride!
A huge thank you to everyone who participated in our various fundraising activities: buying chocolate bars, wine, samosas, cookies, and other treats. Your support at our Mitre 10 and New World sausage sizzles, Noodle Head New Zealand dinners, Aqa drinks, flower bulb sales, and bake sales at Santa's Christmas Tree's and Seaside market has been incredible.
We’re also grateful to those who joined us for the fabulous Harrisons Solar Ambrose Golf Tournament with auctioneering by Christina Harvey Real Estate - Powers Realty Taranaki, and those who attended the Smokn Comrades ‘Night at The Races’ and auctions (‘I always wanted one’ Fisher). We know you enjoyed yourselves, though we’re also aware there might have been a few sore heads after those events! Our quiz nights at The Good Home and bingo at Stumble In were a hit. Boy, some people know some obscure stuff, aye Jayden.
Thank you to those who got their cars washed at the Cobb and Co / Sentinel Homes carpark—such a hit that even the Nz Police stopped by for a donut and a wash. Our baking became so legendary that Fabricana invited us to run a café, and who knew that filling seed packets at Egmont Seeds could be so much fun?
We’ve fed Flight Tech - Pilot Training with BBQs, and customers have supported us through the reward hub while shopping. Caci Clinic New Plymouth / Event Cinemas Movie Night kicked us off, Givealittle was popular for those watching their waistlines, and our date night babysitting gave some much-needed time out for parents.
And yes, you can re-friend us on Facebook—there are no more raffles! We had a lot of them, and you supported us over and over again. Thank you so much!
A massive shoutout to our wonderful sponsors of both our events and individual travellers. Your support for the performing arts community is deeply appreciated.
