What a fantastic afternoon at the Saints game on Sunday! 🏀🦍🎉
A huge thank you to the Mills Albert Wellington Saints and all the fans who got involved in our first-ever ClubActive halftime activation.
Magilla the Gorilla brought plenty of energy to the court during the Gorilla vs Fans CHASE Challenge, with participants racing through the challenge, shooting for glory and entertaining the crowd throughout halftime.
We also had a blast launching free ClubActive T-shirts into the stands and getting Saints fans involved in the action.
A special shout-out to our participants and winners who stepped up to the challenge, and to our ClubActive team for helping bring the activation to life.
We're proud to partner with the Wellington Saints and support game-day experiences that bring our community together through sport, movement and a bit of fun.
Thanks for having us Saints. We had a blast and can't wait to do it again. 🤝
