Congratulations Oxfam Trailwalker!

Oxfam Trailwalker has been awarded the Special Events Charity Fundraising Award (the fancy way of saying best fundraising event!) at the Fundraising Institute of NZ (FINZ) Fundraising Excellence Awards, held at parliament mid-May. FINZ is the professional body for all those involved with fundraising, sponsorship and events in the not-for-profit sector so it's awesome to be recognised with this accolade from our fundraising peers.

Oxfam Trailwalker has also won the most sustainable event award from NZ Association of Events Professionals (NZAEP) three years running. You can read more about this award and Oxfam Trailwalker's committment to sustainability.
