NZ Young Farmers Fight Night for Charity

NZ Young Farmers Fight Night for Charity

Bledisloe Building, Mystery Creek  (Waikato)

After the success of the 2012 event, the 2013 NZ Young Farmers Fight Night for Charity will be even bigger and better.

Proceeds from the event are to be donated to a local charity to allow Young Farmers to continue to give back to our local communities, while enjoying a chance to settle some scores with each other in the boxing ring. The boxers have all put their hands up and are committed to an onerous training schedule leading up to the event and will square off in a series of three-round boxing bouts.

The number one goal for the night is to ensure that as a region, we are able to raise a substantial amount of proceeds which are to be donated to charity.

Our chosen sponsor for this year is St John’s Ambulance, an organisation which continues to play a vital role in our rural communities.
