My name is Mana-Nui Noda, and I am a 15-year-old Year 10 student at Lara Secondary College. I play Hooker (#2) for our Under 18 Rugby Union team.

I have been selected to travel to France with my school rugby team in September 2026, and I am seeking sponsorship to help make this incredible opportunity possible.

The tour will allow me to compete internationally, develop my skills, experience a new culture, and proudly represent my school, family, and community. However, the costs of travel, accommodation, uniforms, and other expenses are significant.

I have played rugby since I was five years old and train six days a week, with the goal of pursuing a career in the sport. This tour is an important step toward achieving that dream.

Any sponsorship, large or small, would be greatly appreciated and would help ease the financial burden on my family. Your support would not only help me achieve my goals but also demonstrate your commitment to supporting young athletes and community sport.

✅ All donations are tax deductible. 

You will receive a tax receipt, allowing you to claim the full donation amount on your personal or business tax return. 

Thank you for considering my request. I sincerely appreciate your support.

Yours sincerely,

Mana-Nui Noda
