THUNDER INDIGENOUS RUGBY
CHANTELLE LAMBERT From Denman Island
I am very excited to let everyone know that I have been selected by Thunder Rugby to be a part of their rugby/cultural tour of New Zealand in August 2025!
They are only taking 20 girls and 20 boys, so I feel highly privileged to have been selected.
I am really excited to experience and learn about the indigenous culture in New Zealand and to play rugby in each area we stay in. Auckland, Bay of Islands, Hawks Bay and Wellington.
To be able to cover the trip costs I have worked, taken in returnables and am doing various fundraising things.
We are doing a 50/50 draw right now. The online wheel draw will be made on December 1st. We are selling original design Curtis Wilson, silver pendants, accepting items for a spring 2025 silent auction and hoping for some sponsors/donations.
The Denman Island General a store is also being kind enough to allow me to place a jar by their checkout to collect donations.
Help of any kind between now and August 2025 will be very much appreciated!
If you are interested in buying 50/50 tickets or pendants or have an auction donation, please message Chantelle Lambert at rlambert114@gmail.com
50/50 tickets $20 each – payout approx $5000
Silver Thunderbird logo pendants – $90.00
Donation jar will be at the Denman General Store starting in January.
Other sponsors or donations can be e-transferred to rlambert114@gmail.com or contact Chantelle and Rachel at 2503352219
Thank you to everyone in the community for reading this and for your help and support!
