ONLINE FUNDRAISING PROGRAM – RAISE MONEY, WIN PRIZES!

Dear Parent/Guardian,

We are excited to announce that the Piako Colour Fest will be held on Sunday 13 April at Campbell Park in Morrinsville.


This is a major fundraising event aimed at raising much-needed funds for

The WaterBoy with Lugtons.


The WaterBoy with Lugtons is a Waikato-based children’s charity that breaks down barriers to make sport an achievable option for Waikato kids. We work alongside local sponsors to financially support families to keep their children out on the sports field.

We (The WaterBoy with Lugtons) have partnered with School Fun Run (an online fundraising platform) to help boost our fundraising efforts.

When you purchase your tickets online for the Piako Colour Fest, please select the “yes” box to sign your child(ren) up to the School Fun Run fundraising program. This involves your child fundraising for The WaterBoy with Lugtons for their participation in the Piako Colour Fest.

How does the fundraising work?

Create a Profile online: Visit schoolfunrun.co.nz and set up a student profile. This page will be the hub for all fundraising activities. Your school will be “WaterBoy with Lugtons Sfr” and your class will be your school name.
Share Your Link: Encourage donations by sharing your child’s fundraising page with family and friends via email, SMS, or social media.

Students who raise at least $10 can choose a prize! The more they raise, the better the reward. Please check the sponsorship form for prize details. We have reminded students about safety concerns with door-knocking, and we encourage you to reinforce this at home.

Get Involved!
We welcome parents and family members to attend the event and support the students.

Ordering Prizes – Online Only
Prizes must be ordered between 17 April 2025 and 24 April 2025.
