Momentum Waikato Showcase 2021 - photo album

Published on 11 October, 2024

The previously annual Momentum Waikato Showcase was delayed six months to March due to Covid, so it was great to get together with our principal supporters for the first time in ages and show them what we've been up to and what's coming next.

The presentations at Claudelands covered the role of bequests in building the regional endowment fund, the Karioi-Kimihia Lakes project, the Houchens Retreat project, the Waikato Intercultural Fund, the Waikato Women's Fund and, last but not least, the Waikato Regional Theatre.

There was some serious star power in the house to support the theatre project - The Topp Twins and Lord of the Rings star John Rhys-Davies (AKA Gimli) entertained the crowd in their own unique ways.
