The Amazing Raise Challenge

Our Canterbury team took on The Amazing Raise Challenge for the Māia Health Foundation.

We’re proud to say they came home as Top Fundraising Heroes, raising over $32,000 for Christchurch Hospital’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit!

Preparation was key, with two big decisions to make: the team name and the costume. After much spirited debate, the team settled on The Chippies and a hippie look.

Over one packed day, Sarah Howes, Petra Molloy, Georgia Nunes and Brian Higgins (subbing in in the last minute for fundraiser extraordinaire Eugene Duggan) tackled cornhole, excavator operating (Petra scored a perfect 20/20), paper planes at the Air Force Museum, clay-track go-karting and a one-handed sled build at the International Antarctic Centre.

Thank you to everyone in the wider construction community and our Naylor Love whānau who donated and cheered the team on. Your support will make a lasting difference for Canterbury families.
