... more
Shine has been a proud charity partner of the Vodafone Warriors for seven years now and we are excited to announce the 2019 Charity Game Day when the club hosts Penrith Panthers on Sunday, June 30 at Mt Smart.
The Game Day will include lots of family fun and games hosted by the five partner charities, including Shine. There will be many exciting ways to contribute with donations being evenly split across the five charities.
Over $70,000 was raised in 2018 and this year the goal is set for $100,000 or more. We need your help to do this!
Players will donate their playing jerseys from the game, which they will sign before they are all auctioned along with many other exciting items.
Fans and Shine supporters have the opportunity to do their bit for Shine by entering our unique code when purchasing tickets. For every ticket purchased this way, the Vodafone Warriors will donate an additional $5 straight to Shine!
To support Shine this way – use the code word SHINE at the following link: https://www.ticketmaster.co.nz/promo/zr7n1b
If you are interested in a table for 10 in the Corporate Lounge for this game, there is a great deal which will see the club donate $500 to the overall fundraising total! For more info email dominicb@2shine.org.nz
Hope to see you on game day!







What has changed in 25 years?
13-Jun-2019 | Shine News

What if anything has changed in 25 years since the film Once Were Warriors was released, asks Stuff reporter Imogen Neale. She looks at its key themes including its dramatic portrayal of family violence. 
Stuff spoke to Shine's GM Jane Drumm, who has worked in the family violence sector for decades, and has seen changes both good and bad.
Jane Drumm 'said there was now a "huge amount more" reported violence - partly because people are more confident they will get help if they ask for it.
"The level of violence that occurs in this country is extremely high. And the extremity of that violence ... is also really high," she said.'

Shine's First Ever Bowlathon

The first-ever Shine Bowlathon is Sunday, August 25^th from 5:30-7:30pm at a ten pin bowling alley on the North Shore. 
What is a bowlathon?  It is like a marathon where you can join a team and get a fundraising page to reach your goal together… but instead of running, there will be pizza, beer, and ten pin bowling.


With awards for best bowler, worst bowler, best team name, best team costume, and top fundraisers, you don’t have to be good at bowling to have a great time.
The best part of the bowlathon is that it is for such an important cause. Did you know NZ Police get a callout to a domestic violence incident every four minutes?! It can happen in any home, to anyone… and we know it doesn’t have to be this way.
Get your friends and get your team signed up!
