Over $10,000 Raised from the Texturite Reel Women’s Fishing Competition

The Texturite Wellington Limited Reel Women’s Fishing Competition is more than just a fishing event—it’s a movement for good.
Over the past three years, it has raised over $42,000 for the Kapiti Women’s Refuge, making a real difference in our community.

This year’s competition was a great success. Despite uncertain weather during the week, Saturday the 22nd of March

saw our dedicated women take to the water with enthusiasm. The incredible support from participants, volunteers, and sponsors made the event truly special.
A huge thank you to our sponsors—your continued support makes this possible.  The incredible support from participants, volunteers, and sponsors made

We deeply appreciate every contribution, big and small, that helps us achieve our goals.
