By Colin James


(Auckland) The Halberg Disability Sport Foundation is to be the beneficiary of funds raised at a charity dinner, as a result of a new partnership with the Harcourts Foundation New Zealand.

Team Harcourts Ambassador Emma Revell explains the hopes of Halberg make the foundation the best charity partner,"Murray Helberg set up the foundation in order to enhance the lives of physically disabled Kiwis by breaking through obstructions so they can take part in and enjoy sport. Harcourts real estateprovides funds to community groups all over NZ, and we are in particular inspired by the work of this actual charity. "

The 'Sport for Life' dinner will feature distinguished NZ sporting figures who will lead consultations on the positive impact of sport, and the power of sport to contribute to the lives of disabled people. Special guests include former All Blacks coach Sir Graham Henry, All Blacks mental abilities coach Gilbert Enoka, and the Common Wealth Games Chef de Mission Rob Waddell. Also, Paralympic cycling champion Philippa Gray will talk about how important it is to make sport inclusive for those with disabilities.

Revell announces that a charity auction will be held later in the evening, with 100 per cent of the funds raised going directly to the Halberg Disability Sport Foundation,"We have a thrilling array of unique sporting experiences and souvenirs up for auction, we aim to surprise and delight with our auction pieces. " Revell explains that Harcourts real estate established the Harcourts Foundation in 2008 in direct reply to the query "What are we able to do to put something into the community to improve the day to day lives of the local people?"

Since the Harcourts Foundation was formed, $2.7 million has been raised through fundraising efforts, and donations from Harcourts team members. "Harcourts gets inspiration from the Halberg Foundation due to their untiring commitment in their work to bring about Murray Helbergs vision that without exception all New Zealanders ought to have access to sports," says Revell.

The Helberg Foundation employs Disability Sports Consultants right through NZ who facilitate chances for physically disabled folks, and counsel for specialised sports gear and coaching. Revell adds that the Helberg Foundation also provides grants for specifically changed sports gear.The evening has a three course meal, drinks and entertainment and tickets start at $210 plus gst per head.
