Avonside Girls' High School - Te Kura Kōhine o Ōtakaro

We’re taking on Sweat with Pride this June to raise money for Rainbow communities! 💦🌈

Sweat with Pride raises awareness for the Rainbow community and the challenges still being overcome, ranging from acceptance of different ranbow identities to serious impacts on mental and physical health.

The fundraising from Sweat with Pride goes towards groups who support the Rainbow Community with these challenges:
- The Burnett Foundation who advocate for wellbeing and support rainbow youth as well as offering sexual health and testing services
- rainbowYOUTH who support, advocate for and provide information to LGBTQIA+ youth and their wider community
- OutLine who run an 0800 line to offer information and support to rainbow kiwis and anyone in Aotearoa questioning their own identity
- InsideOUT who provide resources, workshops, consulting, advocacy and support including through many kura.

The challenge requires you to choose a goal, starting at 21 minutes of activity a day - you might even already be getting this just walking around kura!

Signing up for Sweat with Pride is a way to show support for the LGBTQIA+ young people here at AGHS by making our kura is a safe space for everyone.
Any funds raised during the event go directly towards supporting rainbow youth across Aotearoa.
