P\u0101p\u0101moa Rotary Club has held another successful golf tournament for youth development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The eighth annual tournament, on April 18, was held at Mount Maunganui Golf Club.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A release from the Rotary Club said local businesses came on board to take part in the charity event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“The day saw a great turnout and a massive $24,000 raised for youth development within P\u0101p\u0101moa district,” the release said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This adds to P\u0101p\u0101moa Rotary Club’s contribution of more than $100,000 since the tournament’s beginnings in 2013.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“These funds have seen our young people benefit from bike racks, helmets, playground equipment, and funding towards P\u0101p\u0101moa Surf Club including a boat, 4 Wheel Drive Quad and Club programs, and various youth programs in the Bay of Plenty.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This year’s funds will be focused on youth development to support the rapidly growing community and tackle some of the issues arising within this change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Of the $24,000 raised, three cheques of $5000 will go to the club’s main beneficiaries the Graeme Dingle Foundation, RYDA Road Safety Education, and P\u0101p\u0101moa Surf Club.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The donations were announced at a special meeting with Rotary P\u0101p\u0101moa team volunteers, sponsors, and beneficiaries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Graeme Dingle Foundation’s Kiwi Can program teaches kids values and resilience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dan Allen Gordon, accepting the cheque for the Kiwi Can team, said this contribution would benefit a further 720 children in P\u0101p\u0101moa this year through their programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
RYDA educates youth on road safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jerry Cowper, who received the contribution for RYDA, said the funds would help an additional 600 students in the Mount and P\u0101p\u0101moa attend their road safety course next year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
P\u0101p\u0101moa Surf Club trains and upskills its volunteers to keep the community safe in the water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
P\u0101p\u0101moa Surf Club’s Nikki Heatly said the money would help with essential first aid training for surf club volunteers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
P\u0101p\u0101moa Rotary Club’s Rod Kueuke paid tribute to the “special and long-term commitment” to the event from Bluehaven Management, the Mount Maunganui Golf Club, and 31 hole sponsors who ensured the success of the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He also extended appreciation to all the smaller sponsors for prizes and raffle items and to those who provided items for the auction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kueuke said the event was about providing for the P\u0101p\u0101moa community and it is great to see so many firms from this area prepared to donate to this cause.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
