Pass It Foward Stories

DONATED BALLS

PASS IT FORWARD | Apr 29, 2021

We believe every kid deserves the chance to play sport.
The Pass It Forward campaign hopes to remove one of the barriers to participation by providing a ball to those in need. So for every Pass It Forward ball sold through Rebel Sport, we will donate an identical ball to a deserving Kiwi club or school.

What We’ve been in Te Puke & Tauranga this week delivering balls to schools. So good to get such massive smiles from the kids at Arataki School, Mount Intermediate, Tauranga Intermediate, Otumoetai Intermediate, Te Puke Intermediate, Te Puke Primary, Fairhaven School, Brookfield School, Greerton Primary and Gate Pa School. That’s over 700 balls for sport and activity in these schools.

Iwi was tasked with designing limited edition rugby ball graphics for the Pass It Forward campaign. This particular project brought much pleasure to Iwi, not only because it included rugby and design, two of his pastime interests but also provided an opportunity to give to a community in need.
