Mitey & Sir John Kirwan Foundation Charity Weekend

22-23 August 2025: Mitey Programme & Sir John Kirwan Foundation Charity Weekend

We’re excited to announce that East Coast Bays AFC has connected with a charity for 2025 – the Sir John Kirwan Foundation and its incredible Mitey Programme, supporting mental health education in New Zealand primary schools.

To raise awareness and funds, we’ll be hosting a range of special events across the weekend of August 22–23, and we’d love for our community to get behind it!
