Mitre 10 raises $92,000 for the Hone Tuwhare Trust!

The gen­eros­i­ty of a Mitre10 char­i­ty auc­tion will con­tribute towards the restora­tion of Hone Tuwhare’s crib.

The mon­ey raised will be used to restore Hone’s crib in Kaka Point and takes the Trust a sig­nif­i­cant step toward achiev­ing its goal of estab­lish­ing the first cre­ative res­i­den­cy in the home and name of a Maori writer and creative.

“The Trust is very grate­ful for the gen­eros­i­ty of Mitre 10, as it will enable us to under­take much need­ed repairs and main­te­nance on Hone’s crib. Mitre 10’s com­mit­ment to build­ing is a good fit with the Trust’s com­mit­ment to build­ing a sus­tain­able cre­ative future for New Zealand.” 

The auc­tion is a reg­u­lar fea­ture of the annu­al Mitre 10 Awards Night, which was held at the Lang­ham Hotel in Auck­land on 23 July 2015 fol­low­ing a 2‑day trade expo.

This is a big mile­stone for the Tuwhare Trust, and we are so very thank­ful for the support.
