Big Buddy Big Build

Modern home Clarks Beach Auckland

Our Foundation partner GJ Gardner Homes' Big Buddy Big Builds has made a huge, positive difference to boys without fathers in their lives.

2023 sees the fourth house built by GJ's, especially for Big Buddy. The profits from these houses have kindly been donated to us.

The 2023 house is a stunning 4-bedroom house in Clarks Beach. The house has been built with the support of a number of local subcontractors and suppliers providing their products and services - some at reduced rates- to deliver yet another beautiful stylish home.

Retail Promotions

Our Principal Partner, Mitre 10 Mega Hamilton has developed a number of promotions to raise funds for Big Buddy.

The Te Rapa and Ruakura stores have had some amazing promotions with a percentage of profits from selected kids' toys and products being donated to Big Buddy. They also actively support the local Buddies at their annual Big Day Out.

The proceeds raised are helping us match even more boys without a dad in their life to a fabulous Big Buddy

Fantail & Turtle lunches

They have held several fundraiser lunches in support of Big Buddy. Businesses and individuals alike thoroughly enjoy a sumptuous luncheon event for a worthy cause - it's fun, it's social, and everyone knows they are making a positive difference.

Kāpura's amazing lunch in the heart of Wellington included special guests Grant Fox, Cameron Bagrie and David Howman, not to mention mum, Anna, who blew everyone away with her heartrending story of having her twin boys and the positive impact the Big Buddy programme has had on their lives.

The lunch raised $51,600 for the Big Buddy programme!
