Gisborne Rowing Club

It’s official: Together we raised $56,017.30 for the Manaaki Matakaoa kaupapa, this includes koha from our marae and Uawa organisations.

A massive mihi to our generous sponsors, stallholders, entertainers, and to all our whānau and manuhiri who came out, supported, and shared the aroha.

Kia ora whānau — Uawa Manaaki Matakaoa Market Day Fundraiser is a community-led fundraiser to tautoko our whānau up the coast in Matakaoa / Te Araroa, following the recent weather events.

This kaupapa is being driven by our local community coming together to raise funds through market stalls, kai, auctions, raffles, and entertainment — with proceeds going towards Manaaki Matakaoa.

Te Aitanga a Hauiti Hauora is proud to provide administration and support, to help ensure donations and fundraising are managed safely and transparently.

🎟 Official raffle sellers: Reagan Mitchel
More official selling locations will be announced soon.

Thank you to all who baked, donated, and bought at the GRC bake sale today. We appreciate your contribution!
Thanks to CSL Security Ltd For letting us use the space.

Thanks also to the rowers who thought rowing your butt off on a hot day was good fun, and to the Logistic enablers that helped make it happen.

A reminder about the event this Saturday 👏👏

Stunning weather, everyone is enjoying getting out on the water

We are very proud of all our rowers and their achievements.
