The RealNZ annual Conservation Ball has been recognised as a finalist in this year's New Zealand Event Awards 🌿 As a part of this nomination, we've also been entered into the draw to win the 'New Zealand's Favourite Event' award for 2024. We started the Conservation Ball in 2015, working closely with the Department of Conservation and local conservation groups to identify projects that needed funding support and using the ball to raise this. Last year's ball raised more than $175,000 for the translocation of kākāriki karaka to Anchor Island in Dusky Sound, smashing its fundraising target of $150,000. The event is held at Walter Peak each year, with guests travelling on the TSS Earnslaw to enjoy locally-sourced food and drink, bid on money-can’t-buy experiences, and embrace the spirit of conservation in one of New Zealand’s most picturesque dining locations. Helping the world fall in love with conservation is what we do, and this event is a pillar of our purpose.
