Fundraising

Some of our current major fundraising activities are:

• Circus Quirkus: This is a professionally-telemarketed fundraising activity for underprivileged children to attend a human circus. It is held annually in Clarence St Theatre. Members assist by ushering at the event.
• Montana Food and Events: Our key fundraising contract is with Montana Food and Events and involves members providing hospitality services at key sporting events in the city. This is a hands-on commitment, and all members are encouraged to participate regularly.
• Balloons over Waikato: This is a major social event in the city and our involvement requires the support of many members, and others – throughout the week but most importantly on the afternoon and evening of the Nightglow. The funds we raise from this event are then donated to a special charity that is selected annually.
• Other fundraising: At various times we undertake other fundraising activities, and we are always seeking opportunities to raise funds. Our weekly raffles and sergeants sessions also assist us with fundraising.
