The Climb For Youth fundraising event is organised by the Graeme Dingle Foundation Waikato.
“The Graeme Dingle Foundation is a youth development organisation. Their goal is to build self-confidence, resilience, and self-efficacy, helping young people to realise their potential. We support youth on a Transformational Journey with our school-based programmes. Every dollar raised goes straight back into our programmes and puts $10.50 back into our local communities throughout Waikato.”
Climb For Youth took place at Pukemokemoke Bush Reserve on Saturday 1 March 2025, from 8am to noon. It involved teams of 3 (“Climbers”) to overcome the Pukemokemoke 3km Loop Track as many times as they could in four hours. Climbers chose their challenge and pledged the number of return trips and the amount to fundraise.
