Spirit of Adventure Trust is calling for Kiwis to head to www.hyundai.co.nz/driveforgood Vote for Spirit of Adventure Trust by Sunday 3rd March 2019 to be the charity to drive away with a Hyundai Santa Fe. Help the Trust to reach more Kiwi youth across New Zealand and within your local community. Your vote will make a difference and impact more kiwi teenagers who desperately need to gain life skills onboard Spirit of New Zealand with a Youth Development programme. If any player at the NZ Golf Open hits a hole in one on the 10th hole, the charity with the most votes at the end of the tournament will be four wheels better off!
