At First National Progressive, we love getting behind our local community and there’s nothing better than seeing kids and families out there having a blast!

Just before Christmas, we were thrilled to sponsor the MIXX Korfball South Island Championships right here in Christchurch. It was a fantastic day filled with energy, laughter and a little bit of friendly competition.

Although the December weather didn’t quite bring the summer vibes we’d hoped for, it was a cooler, cloudy day, our team embraced the chilly conditions, rugged up, and brought the fun to the event. We set up our tent, ready to cheer on the teams and connect with everyone who stopped by.

To add to the festive cheer, we ran a draw for a Christmas hamper that proved very popular (who doesn’t love a chance to win something delicious and festive?). We also set up a corn hole game that was a hit with kids and parents alike. It was great seeing everyone giving it a go and enjoying some light hearted competition.

And of course, we couldn’t let the kids run out of energy! We handed out drinks and chocolates to keep spirits high and those legs moving on the court. The smiles and thank yous made it all worthwhile.

 

Watching the young players give it their all on the Korfball court was inspiring. Korfball might not be as well known as some other sports, but its fast paced, inclusive nature makes it a fantastic game for people of all ages. Seeing these kids stay active, build teamwork, and have fun was a great reminder of why we love supporting local events like this.

A big thank you to MIXX Korfball for organising such a wonderful day and for letting us be part of it. It’s always a pleasure to give back to our community and to help create moments that bring people together.

We can’t wait to see what’s next for MIXX Korfball and are already looking forward to the next event. To all the players, organisers, and spectators, thank you for making it such a memorable day. Let’s keep getting out there, supporting local sports, and having fun!
