This November we have our Hospice Tairāwhiti raffle month!

One in three people who die in New Zealand are supported by Hospice. The funds that are raised by incredible community events like this are vital for bridging the funding gap.
With this comes a Give-A-Little page where you can donate to Hospice Tairāwhiti as part of the Freedom Riders MC Poker Run event. Donations received here will be included in their overall tally. If you didn’t get to make it to the event or just wanted to throw a little bit extra into the donations box – this is your chance.
If you or your group have a fundraising event you would like to hold to help raise funds for Hospice Tairāwhiti – you can email our fundraising co-ordinator Kenzie Sampson on kenzie@hospicetairawhiti.org.nz
