community phil&thropic We LOVE Christchurch
Raising money for New Zealand's city of Christchurch
The entire phil&teds crew were itching to help the New Zealand city of Christchurch whānau (family in Māori), affected by the earthquake of 22nd February! We asked for ideas from people about how we can help. We had staff offering their homes to house people, volunteering their spare time, and sending food & clothing parcels! Here's what we ended up doing:
• Running stalls at local summer fairs selling phil&teds, Mountain Buggy, and mokopuna goodies - with all $$ going to Christchurch
• Thanks to our "Buggies for Good" initiative we were able to donate pre-loved buggies to families, & organisations such as Ronald McDonald House CHCH & the neonatal trust - read more
• Ran auctions on trademe & ebay of phil&teds signed stuff, the likes of the All Blacks, Naomi Watts & Bret McKenzie, from "Flight of the Conchords" (yes, we're totally name dropping!) - read more
• Cooking for residents moved to Wellington's Ronald McDonald House after the quake
• Donate a day initiative - you can still help! Head to donate-a-day.co.nz and get donating, come on Kiwis!
In June 2010 phil&teds donated over $14,000 to Ronald McDonald House in Christchurch - we're so happy to have helped! Visit the phil&thropic gallery on our facebook page here!
