(Auckland) The Halberg Disability Sport Foundation is to be the receiver of funds raised at a charity dinner, because of a new association with the Harcourts Foundation New Zealand.
Team Harcourts Ambassador Emma Revell explains the hopes of Halberg make the foundation the ideal charity partner,"Murray Helberg set up the foundation so as to boost the lives of physically disabled Kiwis by breaking through barriers so they can participate in and enjoy sport. Harcourts real estateprovides money to community groups all over NZ, and we are in particular inspired by the work of this charity. "
The 'Sport for Life' dinner will feature outstanding NZ sporting figures who will lead consultations on the positive impact of sport, and the power of sport to make a difference to the lives of disabled folks. Special guests include previous All Blacks coach Sir Graham Henry, All Blacks mental skills coach Gilbert Enoka, and the Common Wealth Games Chef de Mission Rob Waddell. Additionally, Paralympic cycling champion Philippa Gray will talk about how critical it is to make sport inclusive for those with disabilities.
Revell announces that a charity auction will be held later in the evening, with 100 % of the funds raised going directly to the Halberg Disability Sport Foundation,"We have a fun choice of unique sporting experiences and mementos up for auction, we plan to surprise and delight with our auction pieces. " Revell explains that Harcourts real estate established the Harcourts Foundation in 2008 in direct reply to the query "What are we able to do to put something back into the community to enhance the everyday lives of the local people?"
Since the Harcourts Foundation was formed, $2.7 million has been raised through fundraising efforts, and donations from Harcourts team members. "Harcourts is inspired by the Halberg Foundation due to their tireless commitment in their work to bring about Murray Helbergs vision that without exception all New Zealanders should be able to access sports," claims Revell.
The Helberg Foundation employs Disability Sports Counsellors right through NZ who facilitate chances for physically disabled folk, and advocate for specialised sporting equipment and instruction. Revell adds that the Helberg Foundation also provides grants for specifically changed sports gear.The evening has a three course meal, drinks and entertainment and tickets start at $210 plus gst per person. Bookings can be made through annah.lairdharcourts.net.
