FUNDRAISER NIGHT FOR WAIRANGI 🔥

If any of our club whānau are looking for a fun night out and want to support a great cause, we have a fundraiser happening for Wairangi next Friday! 💪

Wairangi has been wrestling for Featherston Wrestling Club since he was just 5 years old. Over the years, he has proudly represented our club at regional, national, and international level with amazing success. 🤼‍♂️

Not only is he chasing his own goals, but he is also now giving back to the club by helping train and coach our junior wrestlers, as well as supporting some of our senior wrestlers too 👏

His goal this year is to compete in as many competitions across New Zealand and internationally as possible, with the dream of one day representing Aotearoa on the world stage! 🇳🇿

All funds raised will go towards travel and accommodation costs to help support his journey.

We’d love to see our wrestling whānau and community get behind him for a great night out ❤️

👉 All details are on the poster!
