Relay For Life 2024 will go down as an event to remember
What an extraordinary achievement! Relay For Life Nelson Tasman 2024, proudly brought to you by GJ Gardner Homes Nelson, stands as a testament to the incredible support we receive from our community. It will go down as an event to remember!
With 545 registered participants and 49 teams, Relay For Life Nelson Tasman 2024 was a monumental gathering, showcasing the unity and solidarity of our community in supporting those affected by cancer.
We have so many people to thank and acknowledge, but first and foremost, a massive shoutout to each of you who participated – our fabulous Relay For Lifers. You are absolutely amazing! Your unwavering enthusiasm made every moment of Relay unforgettable, and we are deeply grateful for your incredible contributions.
Your fundraising efforts have truly surpassed expectations! We smashed our $100k goal before the event even began, and thanks to your continued support throughout Relay, we’ve now soared past $205k!
Our Centre Manager, Michelle Hunt, pledged to shave her head if we hit $200k for the region! And she was true to her word and completed her head shave thanks to Dee from Beautify Hair by Dee at our offices.
