1 picturesque day. 18 challenging holes. 30 competitive teams. Nearly $80,000 raised for two causes close to Tumu’s heart.
Our inaugural Tumu X bbi Golf Tournament teed off at the stunning Hastings Golf Course, bringing together teams from across the region (and beyond) to support two incredible charities – Building Futures and Mates 4 Life.
Played in Ambrose format, teams of four took on the course in great spirit – competitive, generous, and ready to back two organisations doing vital mahi in our communities.
Building Futures supports rangatahi by helping them gain confidence, skills, and pathways into meaningful employment and brighter futures, while Mates 4 Life is dedicated to creating supportive workplace cultures and equipping people with the tools to look out for one another and have courageous conversations about mental health.
Out on the course, teams enjoyed a range of fun hole activations, including a standout TimberSpan challenge, where players attempted to putt through a miniature Eiffel Tower made from LVL!
Back at the clubhouse, we heard from a Building Futures graduate whose story resonated with everyone. Now three years into her role at bbi Wood Products, she spoke about her journey and the positive impact the programme has had on her life.
We also heard from Dan of Isaac’s Plumbing, Pumping & Electrical, who shared how Mates 4 Life has strengthened their workplace culture. He spoke to the value of open conversations and strong support networks across their team.
The generosity continued with an exciting live auction featuring two stunning baches, a high-country hunting experience in Ngamatea, and a next-level BBQ from Mitre 10
Congratulations to PGC Constructors, who claimed the top spot on the day and won a round at the spectacular Cape Kidnappers Golf Course.
A fun, competitive and incredibly worthwhile day – and most importantly, nearly $80,000 raised to support two organisations making a real difference in our communities.
