Backyard Games

You know it’s WORD event when we bust out the games! We’ll get a bit silly with cornhole and kootz in the courtyard.

As a registered charity organisation, we rely on participant fees from our programmes, donations, and grants to operate. This ‘Thumb-raiser’ is our way of bringing the WORD Whanau together to raise funds to help keep our fees low to help more rangatahi ride bikes with WORD.

Every dollar raised goes right back into WORD to continue to change the world one ride at a time.

We raised over $7000!!!!!
