Eve's Angels Netball Fundraising
Please support us if you can: givealittle.co.nz...
In 2021 I started coaching a netball team, we called ourselves “Eve’s Angels” as we were sponsored by Eve’s Apples 🍎 2024 is my 4th season coaching the same young ladies. This year, in December, we will travel to Fiji to enter a netball tournament.
I have watched these girls turn into young woman and observed a huge improvement in their playing skill and confidence on and off the court. It has been nothing but a privilege to be a part of their lives.
The Fiji Festival provides us with a chance to give back to grass roots netball and grow the amazing netball community. Eve's Angels will become buddies with a local Fijian team during the festival and we will be taking netball donations from NZ for them e.g. old netball uniforms, bibs, balls etc.
This trip is not just about sports; it's an opportunity for personal growth, team building, fostering a spirit of sportswomanship and a love for netball across borders. These young women have never been the A Team nor a Rep Team, but they have worked hard to develop their netball skills and they are a dedicated, passionate, loyal and hardworking team who support each other both on and off the court and have a lot of fun!
Heading to Fiji to celebrate everything about this team is a dream that we have made a reality. If you can help ease the cost for us to get there (which is a big cost for some), that would be most appreciated ❤️😊
⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
