Boys step up to the fundraising challenge…
Waihi is a small rural boys primary school in the South Island of New Zealand, just 112 boys!
The school is 102 years old and the boarding house looks a bit like it! It has worn out and is too small. So the boys have taken it upon themselves to get a new one built hence the fundraising. It’s a big challenge but one we have let the boys instigate, plan and execute!
The boys have written to prominent men all across the world to see if they could get signed ties for a global auction. With great success they have secured some ties from Donald Trump and some amazing sporting greats such as Jonny Wilkinson, Dan Carter, Richie McCaw, Roger Federer and Nathan Twaddle…Wow. But you guessed WE NEED MORE!
They have tasked us the parents to help rev up the tie return by networking around the world with friends, family and contacts. SO HELPPPPPP!
So if you know anybody famous, a sporting legend, political figurehead, a TV personality, a global superstar then can you please ask, cajole, or beg for a tie for the boys?
We need their signature on the tie and the certificate of authenticity, so that we can prove it’s them. The certificate is attached for them to print and send with the tie.
We’re going to auction all the ties we get from the 1st June until the 21st 2010, on a global auction site and the money will go to our boarding house…how exciting.
