Spirit of the Wakatipu

 

2024 Gala Event will be held on Saturday 19 October,  Events Centre,  Queenstown

​

There is no doubt the spirit of giving is a force that brings communities together for the common good.  There are literally countless individuals, groups and organisations who give of themselves, their time and their money to help make our community a better place.

 

This is the Spirit of the Wakatipu: 

 

Tiaki o Tahuna

To Care for the People and the Place of Queenstown

 

The Spirit of the Wakatipu Awards are an opportunity to recognise and celebrate those individuals, organisations, groups and corporate entities who put their hand up and contribute in a philanthropic way to the Wakatipu community and who hold true to the values that collectively define what is unique about the place we call home.
