Issue date
There are just ten days left for the NZL Sailing Team with Emirates Team New Zealand to meet their fundraising target to enable success at the Red Bull Youth Americas Cup in September.
More than 85 generous New Zealanders have already come together to raise more than $20,000 for the young team online through thrillpledge, and in exchange they’ve signed themselves up for some sweet rewards (if the target goal is met!)
Did you know that the entry fee alone is $35,000 USD?
Are you still wondering why they need your help? Are you curious about what your financial contribution goes towards?
Every dollar raised (or donation in kind) goes directly to offsetting the sailors’ cost of insurance, flights, accommodation, uniform, damage deposit, support boat, coaching and other support services... the list goes on and its always those little things that add up.
Small contributions from as little as $25 per person will add up too- so head over to the thrillpledge fundraising site and sign yourself up to the fanclub, or make a bigger contribution to go in the draw to win an NZL Sailing SLAM Jacket.
Best of all – your pledge can be tax deductible!
