Great to support Sunset Coast BMX Club during their 8 months of operations. This will help them keep participation affordable and accessible for whanau, tamariki and rangatahi - a strong community connection for all. 🥰🚴‍♀️🚴

The Lion Foundation continues to make a huge difference within communities across New Zealand by supporting organisations that create positive opportunities for people to connect, participate, and thrive — and we are incredibly grateful to be one of those organisations.

This support helps us continue providing a safe, welcoming, and active space for tamariki, rangatahi, and whānau to come together through BMX. From first-time riders through to experienced racers, our club is built on community, belonging, volunteer support, and giving kids a place to grow in confidence both on and off the track.

Community sport simply would not exist without organisations like The Lion Foundation investing back into grassroots clubs like ours.

Thank you for believing in what we do and helping keep BMX strong in Franklin. See you trackside.
