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.
