COMMUNITY PROJECTS
Here at Zen we are passionate about using our platform within our community to give back to the people and organisations who need it most.
Since opening in 2019 we made a pledge to do something each year, big or small.
Here are a few of our community projects and fundraisers!
THE STADIUM CLIMB
The Zen team, our friends, family and clients teamed up for The Stadium Climb to raise money and awareness for Leukaemia, a cause close to our hearts.
SHAVE FOR A CURE
Liana, Haley and Jen shaved their hair to raise money for Leukaemia by partaking in Shave For A Cure. A whopping $3,239 was raised!
HAIRCUTS FOR HOSPICE
This event was held at Zen over a 24 hour period where there was non-stop haircuts for the Otago Community Hospice! Many local businesses, clients, friends and family donated raffle prizes, auctions, money, art, food, drinks and so much more which bumped up our possibility to raise more money.
We aimed for 10k and instead raised... $17,450!!!
Our largest fundraiser to date, and one of the closest to our hearts. Shave to Raise for Bowel Cancer NZ was done in the name of our beloved client and friend, Anna-Kristy. She isn't the only person we have lost to Bowel Cancer, which makes it a most worthy cause.
On this day we shaved a record number of 10 heads AND raised a record breaking amount...
$27,684!!!!
