Scoring big at the Golf Fore Life charity golf tournament

Written By Kim Manunui

Youth in Transition held its annual golf tournament on the 23rd February and once again it was a fantastic day for all. $75,000 was raised for the charity’s programme, Journey Back to Awesome. 

“The amount we raised was absolutely phenomenal and so needed with the number of kids reaching out for help. It was such a positive day bringing energy and warmth to our charity,” says Tina Jones MNZM, YIT Director and Co-Founder. 

The day was enjoyed by over 120 players at the stunning Gulf Harbour Country Club on the Whanagaparaoa Peninsula. There were prizes for players, for beating the Pro, closest to the pin, the longest drive, and auction items. With perfect weather it was a day of banter and friendly competition amongst the players, some of whom described it as an “unforgettable day”. 

Representatives from Youth in Transition also addressed the friendly crowd, who were moved by the incredible difference YIT has made to their lives. 

“We are so fortunate to have our amazing sponsors, both for this event and those who have offered their continuous support. We simply could not exist without the help of the likes of Ross Munro, Gary Lane, Rod Duke, Bill Speedy, John and Daniel Green,” says Tina Jones. 

With the annual golf tournament now complete, the charity looks forward to officially opening its newly established retreat in Wainui, called Duke House, later in the year.

Hi, I’m Kim and I work with a great team to help individuals, as well as small and not so small businesses get their message, product and services to the world using digital media and creating wonderful websites that don’t cost the earth.

I was born in Canada, and grew up around Vancouver and the mountains of British Columbia. My love of pristine environments led me to New Zealand and eventually to the mountains, lakes and rivers of the central North Island which is home. My family’s heritage is here, and it’s from here that Korio traverses the planet.

The digital world is never static and neither are we.

And I say ‘we’ because I work with an awesome group of talented people who I gather together as required to complete a project.  Whatever your business, not-for-profit or individual needs are we gather the best team to get the job done.

Collaboratively we are creative, share sustainable values and work hard for great outcomes because that’s the buzz of satisfaction that drives us.

If you have an audience and market to reach, we can make that happen. Creative design, words that work and smart behind the scenes stuff that cuts through the online noise. We’ll design your website and then build it. We’ll manage the content as well as all your hosting needs. We can handle your online advertising so you get noticed,
and we’ll manage your social media presence so you get the clicks, likes and engagement to grow your business. All within the budget you set, because none of this needs to cost the earth.  And the job doesn’t stop when your website goes live. We are your virtual business partner.
