Rugby For Life is very proud to be announced as a finalist in the 2022 TVNZ - NZ Marketing Awards in the Excellence in Not-for-Profit Marketing Strategy category.
Our Take 2 For The Team vaccination programme, under the Rugby For Life's Health & Wellbeing Strategic Pillar, reached over 70% of Northlanders, delivered over 11,000 vaccinations in the hardest-to-reach communities throughout Northland, and injected over $111,000 of additional funding back into 60 local Northland community sports clubs and community groups.
These amazing results would not have been possible without the support of the Te Puni Kōkiri, Te Whatu Ora Te Tai Tokerau (Northland District Health Board), Māori Health Providers; Hokianga Health Enterprise Trust, Ngati Hine Health Trust, Te Hau Āwhiowhio ō Otangarei Trust, Te Hau Ora O Ngāpuhi, Te Hiku Hauora, Te Rūnanga O Whaingaroa, Whakawhiti Ora Pai, the Northland Rugby Union, and the 60 clubs from 13 codes that delivered over 220 community vaccination events to help Tai Tokerau Northland towards the 90% double vaccinated target before Christmas 2021.
