What a day!

Wow...what a day that was.  Thanks to all of the 361 people that came down to Library Square on Saturday and made Waitangi Day Vancouver the awesome event that it was.

A huge thanks goes out to our many generous sponsors!  I know there are a few people out there that are feeling pretty spoiled after their raffle wins on Saturday so thank you to all that donated either in prizes or money for our very worthy cause!
When we officially know the total fundraising effort we will let you know.

We still have 65 of our Icebreaker event tee's available and we would really like to see them all sold.  So if you know someone that wants one or you want another, drop us an email vanwaitangiday@gmail.com and we will try and sus it out for ya.  We took a gamble and ordered 200 so please help us out here if you can...at just $35 they are a steal!

Congratulations are in order too I think...we set the limit of 1000 Steiney Pure's for the day and I believe some of you took that as a personal challenge...Well you got through everything we had well before event close at 6 so Well Done New Zealand!

Event photos are currently being collated and we will have these up for viewing as soon as we can.  Keep an eye on Facebook and right here on the blog... I've seen a few so far and they are Awesome!

Thanks again to everyone who made this event what it was and supported our efforts!

Cheers
