“JUST A FIVE DOLLAR DO” HELPS SPORTS & COMMUNITY

Press Release – Pronesia Community Trust |

If you missed the inaugural success of “Just A Five Dollar Do” in 2003,
make sure you get in early this time round! “Just A Five Dollar Do” is
an event where celebrities come together to compete in a challenge of
what has been labelled as “Freshie Theatre Sports”
The event by the ‘Pronesia Community Trust is in support of small
“grass root” community groups and sports teams who have constructive
positive objectives, by providing an opportunity to raise funds so they
can pursue their activities. The purpose the event was created is to
support struggling team's fundraise for sport's fees, team uniforms
etc, by holding a "Freshie Theatre Sports" night that incorporated
Music, Theatrical and Sporting talent, all packaged in one night. This
year Pronesia is expanding its reach, after seeing other community
groups in need of financial aid.
Groups are given the chance to sell a number of $20.00 tickets to the
event, and receive a $15.00 return for every ticket sold. The remaining
$5.00 going to set up costs – hence the name “Just a Five Dollar Do”.
The response last year was enormous, with all tickets sold out.
Last November saw All Black Sam Tuitupou and NRL/ Kiwi star Joe Galuvao
of the Penrith Panthers square off, to combat in some hilarious
challenges, including trivia, songs, dance and stage relays. Niu FM DJ,
Sela Alo serenade the crowd with an off the cuff performance of a love
song that brought the crowd to tears of laughter. The winning
performance went to ex-Kiwi League star David Solomona, who twisted the
lyrics to the tune of Achy Breaky Heart.
This years event will have a strong focus on Safety in the Water -
leading up to the summer period, with the event targeting the community
with a learn to swim message in the aim to provide free professional
swimming lessons, following the support initiative of national swimming
school - Swimsation. (www.swimsation.com)
Every year there are groups ranging from your local girl guides through
to touch football and softball teams, raising funds for one reason or
another. This is another avenue that can be used to raise funds for
these groups. These groups will also know of people wishing to learn to
swim, and these groups will be encouraged to partake in a term of free
swimming lessons” says Founding Board Member Wesley Faleolo. |
