The Auckland Blues Music Club 20th Anniversary Fundraising Concert for Raukatauri
The Auckland Blues Music Club, in support of Raukatauri Music Therapy Trust, presents the Raukatauri 20th Anniversary Fundraising Concert.
Join us for a glorious afternoon of music from a variety of local & international artists. From folk to blues to rock'n'roll, there will be something for everyone! It will be taking place on Saturday 23rd March, 2024 at the friendly and relaxed Remuera Club, where a great selection of food and drink is available. The Remuera Club is centrally located and has ample free parking. There will be auctions and raffles throughout the day. All proceeds go directly to the Raukatauri Music Therapy Trust.
A special thanks to the artists and our sponsors for donating their time and talents to this event. Great Music for a Great Cause!
Sounds to Sounds: Raukatauri Music Therapy Trust co-founder pedals for a purpose
Riding for Raukatauri from Marlborough to Milford! 1,500km of Cycling, 15,500m of Climbing – All for Music Therapy!
George Bradfield, co-founder and trustee of Raukatauri Music Therapy Trust, father to Hineraukatauri and husband of Dame Hinewehi Mohi, will set out on the incredible fundraising journey to complete the Sounds to Sounds bike ride, starting 4th of March and finishing on 19th of March. George will be accompanied by his long-time friend and cycling buddy Ray Stark.
One of Raukatauri Music Therapy Trust's fundamental values is that we never want finances to be a barrier to accessing music therapy, and with that in mind we subsidise every music therapy session that we provide. The remaining costs of delivering music therapy must be raised through grant applications, fundraisers, donations, and our monthly giving program. However with an increase in the cost of living and a decrease in funding for Music Therapy we are facing the reality of a reduction of services that help people with disabilities.
We would not be able to succeed without the support of people like George & Ray, who are giving so much time and energy in this undertaking, as well as all of the incredibly generous people who will support this fundraiser.

As we receive no direct government funding, and have had all but one fundraising event cancelled due to Covid over the past two years, we would be incredibly appreciative of your support for life-changing music therapy … while also treating yourself!

Host an event
Our primary aim here at the Centre is make music therapy available to all in need, and to that end we subsidise the cost of all our sessions. We receive no direct government funding and therefore need to raise $2.2million each year to continue to keep the Centre, and all of our outreach and satellite programmes, running. We actively seek gifts and donations and welcome any fundraising events run on our behalf - we are extremely grateful for all donations, large or small!
Gigs, art shows, raffles, garage sales, mufti days, cakestalls, sponsored runs, swims and bike rides ... these are all great ways to have some fun and raise funds to assist the work we do here at the Raukatauri Music Therapy Centre. We have brochures, pull up banners, collection buckets and marketing materials we can provide for any event you would like to run and may also be able to provide an additional pair or two of hands to help.
So get your friends together, put your thinking caps on, and give Rachel or Brooke a call on 09 360 0889 with any ideas you might have. It truly is appreciated!
