The inaugural Kapiti Coastguard Charity Ball promises an unforgettable evening of elegance, purpose, and community spirit. On 7 June 2025, the Kapiti Coastguard Charity Ball will take centre stage at the iconic Southwards Car Museum. This glittering event unites people to support a cause that saves lives on and off the water.

A Night of Entertainment and Giving Back

Whether responding to emergencies, assisting boaters in distress, or preventing maritime accidents, the Coastguard makes waves of positive impact. Powered by volunteers, it's truly an organisation where "people make the difference."

But they can't do it alone. With only 40% of their funding provided by the government, the Coastguard relies on donations, fundraising, and the generosity of individuals like you to keep their rescue boats afloat. Every ticket sold and every dollar raised at the Charity Ball will go directly towards making boating safer for all Kiwis.

Auction Spotlight: A Nelson Adventure Awaits

Adding to the evening's excitement is an incredible auction item made possible through our collaboration with The Rutherford Hotel and Cable Bay Adventure Park. Two lucky Kapiti locals will win the opportunity to escape to the stunning Nelson region for an adventure of a lifetime.
