An incredible afternoon at the Fantail & Turtle Fundraiser, hosted by Travis Field and his team, raised over $48,000 for Big Buddy!

The event was filled with generosity and inspiring stories. Guest speaker, Sir Graham Henry, spoke about the power of mentoring right through to the professional sporting arena, while Anoushka shared how her son’s Big Buddy match – seven years strong – continues to thrive, showing the lasting impact of these connections.

Hosted by Big Buddy and ambassador Raj Varma, with Shane Cortese bringing his trademark energy as auctioneer, the event’s success helps ensure more boys without dads gain a positive male role model in their lives.
