THANK YOU

A big thank you to all of our sponsors who help con-tribute to make this event happen every year. With-out your support this event would struggle to operate in its current form, and this is greatly appreciated. To our Nga Rehia whanau who dedicate countless hours of voluntary mahi towards the annual event, thank you! It is often a thankless task, but your contri-bution ensures that this event runs every year, and without it this event would cease to exist. Finally to our Tuwharetoa marae whanau who sup-port the Tuwharetoa Marae Sports Challenges every year. You are the essence of this event, and the rea-son we continue to do this mahi. We look forward in sharing the development of this event with our marae whanau, as we strive to make this event better each time.
