Be Green & Be Seen
October is Be Green & Be Seen month!
Coinciding with World Cerebral Palsy Day on October 6, October is the month to show your support for people living with Cerebral Palsy – Hōkai Nukurangi.
Join Kiwis across the country who are going to #beACTIVE, dressing up in green, and holding green-themed morning teas to celebrate, to embrace diversity, and to help advocate for a more accessible future for everyone.
We’re going to be celebrating Be Green & Be Seen – Kia kākāriki, kia kitea throughout the month of October.
Raise funds, wear green, help make a difference
Anyone can join Be Green & Be Seen – Kia kākāriki, kia kitea!
- You can #beACTIVE by choosing a challenge that suits you, your school or workplace and setting up your own fundraising page.
