Te Awamutu Community Gala

What an incredible evening! A massive thank you to everyone who came out and joined us—your enthusiasm, energy, smiles and dance moves made the day unforgettable.

The gala was to support and raise awareness for Gumboot Friday, a charity that provides free counseling for rangatahi in NZ. This year alone they have funded over 1,800 sessions for our local youth! We also aimed to build connections in our community and bring people together to have fun and boost community spirit.

To the all the amazing people, services and businesses who were apart of the event - thank you for your support and dedication ❤️
