🌈✨ WHAT AN INCREDIBLE NIGHT! ✨🌈
My heart is so incredibly full after our Awareness Disco 25/09/2026. 💜
This is such an incredible event in our small little town full of heart, not only was it an amazing night of dancing, laughter, music and love, but together we raised just under two thousand dollars to be split between these three incredible organisations,
🧠 Brain Tumour Support New Zealand
💜 Rare Disease Disorder New Zealand
🎗️ Child Cancer Foundation
A massive THANK YOU to everyone who came along, donated, supported, sponsored, danced, helped, bought raffle tickets, donated prizes, set up, packed down, or simply showed up and helped make the night what it was.
And to some of the incredible people and businesses who have supported this kaupapa:
❤️ Ōtaki Medical Centre
❤️ FreshChoice Ōtaki
❤️ Property Brokers Kāpiti Coast
❤️ DJ AtuD2
❤️ Web2Print Ōtaki
❤️ Smooth Trowel Limited
❤️ Washington's Electrical Ltd
❤️ Hori
❤️ Andrea Corrigan - Property Brokers Kapiti Coast
❤️ Wallys Lollies Ltd.

And of course, a huge mihi to Brain Tumour Support New Zealand, Rare Disease Disorder New Zealand and Child Cancer Foundation for the incredible work you do and for allowing our little community event to contribute in its own way. 💜
To everyone else who helped behind the scenes, you are the people who quietly turn up, make this event happen, with you this event would work as well as it does, I truly appreciate you and I am so grateful for your support. 🫶
Like I said last year, we're learning as we go and every year we learn a little more about how we can make this event bigger, better and even more special for our community.
So… bring on Awareness Disco #3! 🎉🌈
We're already dreaming up some ideas for next year, and we're thinking of doing things a little differently…
🌈 An all-ages disco
🎤 And then a bigger-kids session later in the evening!
A chance for the bigger kids to have their own opportunity to BOOGIE, get involved in some rap battles, have a laugh and who knows what else the night might contain! 😂🎤🕺
It's still very much early days, and there is plenty to organise before we get there! So if you like what you where apart of and would like to support, sponsor, donate, help out or be involved in next year's Awareness Disco, please reach out. I would love to hear from you. 💜
To those who have been here from the beginning, those who joined us along the way, and everyone who continues to believe in this little kaupapa…
THANK YOU ❤️
This year, we were able to celebrate Juniqwas birthday together surrounded by beautiful people, great music, laughter, colour and so much love. ❤️
There is something incredibly special about bringing people together, and knowing that Juniqwas little light can create something positive for other tamariki and whānau.
Happy birthday, my beautiful Princess. 🌟
You are forever loved, forever remembered, and forever a part of why we keep shining bright. 💜✨
Let's keep creating something positive, meaningful and full of aroha right here in our beautiful Sunny Ōtaki for our tamariki and our amazing community ☀️🌈
For Juniqwa.
For our tamariki.
For our whānau.
For our community.
Bring on Awareness Disco #3! 🌟💜
