Many thanks to everyone in our community who continues to support our Rainbow Warrior Football program through Nā Koa Football Club. We appreciate the trust that you show in Nā Koa by the sharing of your time, your treasures, and your talents. The continued and increasing generosity of our members and donors provides the resources Nā Koa needs to help our team be the best they can be on the football field, in the classroom, and in the community.
In the fiscal year that ended on 30 June 2019, Nā Koa continued to support our Warriors in the areas of:
- Education
- Health and nutrition
- Player safety
Nearly $1.5 million was raised in fiscal year 2019 with more than half coming from the Waterhouse Charitable Trust. Funds from the Trust went primarily to support summer school and cost of attendance for the team for which we are very appreciative. The remainder of the funds were raised through membership, various fundraisers, and donations from the community-at-large.
Please continue your support of our Warriors. It is critical to their continued success. Share the benefits of membership with your family and friends, go to a game, or make a donation to Nā Koa. Every dollar helps to educate our players and make them stronger and more competitive. In phase II, we continue on the journey to recapture Pride Rock and want you to be on our team!
