Home » Blog » Annabel McAleer » And the 2010 Intrepid Volunteer of the Year Award goes to…Congratulations to the 2010 Intrepid Volunteer of the Year: Darryl Pascoe from StarJam—and all the incredible, inspiring other winners and nominees! Here are some pictures from the night.
Around one million can-do Kiwis volunteer their time to help 100,000 charitable causes each year, making New Zealand one of the best volunteering nations on the planet. They don't ask for thanks, praise or recognition … so what better reason to thank, praise and recognise them?
The second annual Intrepid Volunteer of the Year Awards were held last night in the stunning surrounds of St Matthews in the City, Auckland. The mood was set with gorgeous soy candles from Ecoya. Volunteers and charity workers glammed up, enjoyed some lovely wine from Yealands Estate, nibbled delicious goodies from Kokako Organics and basked in their own glory for a change—with more than a few laughs from MC Te Radar along the way (he volunteered the 'h' in The Radar to Whanganui a few years back).
