There are many ways a business can support its local community, but what if you could help a charitable organisation by doing something that you are already good at?
The Hope Home, a Fowler Homes passion project based in Queenstown was auctioned on November 1st, coinciding with Gumboot Friday– an annual event where communities across the country come together to take action, raise awareness, and support youth mental health through the Gumboot Friday free counselling service for young people.
The auction raised a $404,000 donation for Gumboot Friday.
“It’s incredible to see this house become a reality, and even more so knowing it will have such a positive impact on so many young people,” said Mike King.
“We are truly amazed by the generosity of Fowler Homes and their support for the work we do at I Am Hope, especially at a time when so many kids are struggling.” He added, “Our goal is to ensure that every young person knows that support is available, and they don’t have to face their challenges alone.“
“This project isn’t just about constructing a house; it’s about giving back to our community. We’re proud that the funds raised from this auction will go directly towards supporting the important work Mike and his team do at I Am Hope, helping young Kiwis navigate the challenges of mental health,” said Fowler Homes managing director Jason McGirr.
The Hope Home has been made possible through the generosity of more than 50 New Zealand suppliers and businesses, including the following epic sponsors!!!
