This year marked the 10th annual appeal and the final tally is officially in...$91,000! It’s fitting that in a milestone year, the appeal raised the most it ever has.
Of the 260 participating Centres, BestStart Howick took the top prize for most funds raised. We showed
our thanks recently by visiting the fantastic Centre, with some scrumptious morning tea goodies for the staff. Our Chief Executive, Fiona Kingsford, and members of the Plunket Fundraising team got to spend time with the tamariki and see BestStart’s incredible early learning programme in action.
Tony Ryall, Chief Executive Officer of BestStart, was also in attendance. “At BestStart, we’re proud to stand alongside Whānau Āwhina Plunket. Our missions are closely aligned,” said Tony. “Plunket supports tamariki in their health, and we support tamariki in their early learning. Together, we’re walking alongside the same families, building stronger connections and outcomes where they’re needed most.”
Thank you again, BestStart.
