The Web Genius Kāpiti Run for Youth is in full steam after closing the 2023 business sponsorship campaign with a record amount raised from 68 sponsors, $18,125.
Event organisor Helene Judge says the Business Sponsorship campaign was open for six-weeks and they are totally delighted with the outcome.
“There were 68 amazing local business sponsors who chose to support this campaign and the opportunity to contribute to the underlying work of this event, fitness and fundraising for rangatahi in Kāpiti.”
The sponsorship categories were Platinum $1,000+, Gold $500, Silver $250 or Bronze $125. At closing there were 5 Platinum @ $5,000, 8 Gold $4,000, 18 Silver @ $4,500 and 37 Bronze @ $4,625 business sponsors.
Steve Jandrell, Web Genius CEO says, “it never ceases to amaze me how this event comes together each year. As a local business that reaches a national audience, we are proud to be able to facilitate the running of this event where 12 local Fundraising Partners become the recipients to do good in our community for youth in Kāpiti. There is a lot of mahi behind the scenes from within the Web Genius team in addition to their usual client workload, so I thank them for their efforts, and we look forward to paying all Fundraising Partners later in April once the event has been held and online sponsorship is closed.”
Richard Calkin, the Founder of Web Genius says “this event continues to inspire the original ideal of galvanising local people into keeping fit while fundraising for youth on our beautiful Kāpiti coastline – it’s always a great morning out, rain or shine.”
