The Lion Foundation gave a grant of $1923 to help Hora Hora Primary School, in Whangarei, with accommodation costs to compete at the NZ Kapa Haka Championships in Cambridge.
“The children did brilliantly, winning awards for Y1-6 schools and costumes. The grant made this possible: without it our community would have had to contribute even more of their hard-earned and scarce resources.”
- Richard Buckland, Deputy Principal
The Lion Foundation is one of New Zealand’s oldest and most respected Charitable Trusts. Since 1988 they have returned over $850 million back to the community, supporting thousands of good causes all around New Zealand.
