Gumboot Friday
Published 10 December 2024
On November 1st our Porirua store got together to support a great cause, Gumboot Friday. It is an initiative by I Am Hope that raises funds to provide free counseling for young people in New Zealand. Our team decided to raise money and make a day of it by putting lunch on for the staff.
Staff members were asked to bring in their gumboots for a photo and contribute to the donation. A select few were able to stand out at the local shopping centre and take generous donations from our local community.
Burgers for lunch, wearing gumboots at work, there was even a gumboot throwing competition for the staff. The winner won bragging rights and lunch from the boss.
With the Porirua Team's contribution and collection from our local community, we were able to donate a total of $495.40 to this awesome cause. We are proud of our staff and their passion for supporting those in need. It was an awesome day for those involved.
