More Than Just A Run

Jasmine Soa from Cheekee Hero Charity

This year Ōrākei School will hold its annual Cheekee Run on the 11th of November 2022, and we couldn't be more excited. If last year is anything to go by then we're in for a real treat.

The inaugural Cheekee Run was held last year on the 12th of March 2021, with all proceeds going to support Child Cancer Foundation.
This year we switched it up. Our focus is to connect with all tamariki (children), amplify their joy, and create an environment where everyone can participate.

The theme is all things superhero and gold of course! With a focus on kindness and helping our tamariki (children) understand the importance of being kind and caring for one another, especially those who face daily challenges.

What's more exciting is, this term Ōrākei School is focusing on art and Cheekee Hero Charity has created an Art Project that will support the learning and creativity of all tamariki.

Proceeds from the Cheekee Run will be gifted to the Ōrākei School Special Education Needs Unit. To help support their diverse community and elevate their presence in Ōrākei School and the local area.

If you want to help or find out more about this event head over to our website.

We'll keep you posted with updates as this awesome day approaches!
