​Other Fundraising Events:

We are sincerely grateful for the generosity of the many individuals and businesses that continue to support The Foundation, and in turn the many young children and their families that receive therapy and support from the Champion Centre. Support continues to come in a variety of ways. Some events include:
​
  • A function was held at the beautiful home of the John and Anna Tooby. The Foundation was immensely appreciative of their kindness in offering their residence for this occasion. The Tom Rainey Trio entertained, as well as Champion Centre graduate Andrew Oswin, who played the piano beautifully.

  • A further superb event was held at the Tooby home, where musician Ben Waters and his band played. Ben holds the accolade as the ‘best boogie pianist in Europe’. A special guitar signed by Ray Davies of the Kinks was also auctioned.  

  • In response to the Christchurch 2011 earthquakes, a number of Aucklanders wanted to show their support. A fundraiser was held at Florence Court, the residence of John and Alma Sax. Dr. Simon Rowley, a leading Auckland neo-natal paediatrician and former parent spoke. Also, Henry Van Asch gave a memorable account of his own son’s time at the Centre. This was a very heart-warming event that marked the inception of the Champion Foundation. We were very grateful for the $100,000 that was raised.

  • A Trust and Bequest lawyers’ function was held at The Christchurch Club, to raise awareness of the Champion Foundation and Champion Centre with lawyers who specialise in wills and bequests.

  •  A successful golf day at Clearwater Golf Club, organised by Kate Burtt and friends.

  •  Speights’ Alehouse event hosted by Tony Clarke and MC, broadcaster James Daniels.
