Kaponga Hotel is running a tug-of-war competition fundraiser to support an organisation that has helped them.
Nicola Morressey, who owns the hotel with her parents, says Life Flight helped her family in their time of need, transporting her father from New Plymouth to Wellington after he sustained multiple brain injuries last year.
“You never know when you’re going to need them. They helped us in our time of need, and we’d like to give back to them for the help they gave us and the help they’ve given other people as well.”
The New Zealand Tug of War Association will run the competition. There will also be live entertainment, raffles and food and drink available on the day.
Kuvarji, of Kurvarji Entertainment, says when Nicola reached out to her about the event she knew she wanted to help.
