NZ Curling created a NZ Junior Curling fundraiser, The Big Boar Hunting Competition, in 2023.
To farmers, pigs are pests; they make a mess of paddocks and eat food intended for stock. Pigs can also carry diseases such as Tuberculosis (TB), which harms farmers' stock. During lambing, boars can turn into lamb killers; once they get a taste for newborn lambs, they go around and eat them.
This fundraiser is to help raise funds for the NZ Junior Curling (U21) teams to attend the World Junior B Curling Championships in Lohja, Finland, in December.
We wish to thank the major sponsors and the many businesses who have donated prizes to make this competition possible. NZ Curling has been overwhelmed by the support.
