At Zespri, we are committed to helping people lead healthier and happier lives. That's why we are incredibly proud to partner with AIMS Games, an event that has a positive impact on our communities and helps improve the health and well-being of our young people.
AIMS Games' focus on sports, physical activity, and outdoor recreation is a great way to teach children the importance of these core values — values that align with Zespri's identity and purpose of supporting people, communities, and the environment through the goodness of kiwifruit.
We strongly believe that staying active and consuming the right amount of nutrients are essential for maintaining good health. And what better way to get those essential nutrients than from fruit, especially Zespri Kiwifruit!
Sevens star Jorja Miller visited us at Zespri HQ to share how she stays fit and healthy, including ways to fuel up before a game. Check out the delicious Zespri Kiwifruit smoothie they made together, and give it a go yourself!
Sevens star Jazz Felix-Hotham caught up with us down at Blake Park and gave us some tips on how to warm up before a game and cool down properly afterwards.
Head over to the Zespri Hub at Blake Park or keep an eye out for our roaming Kiwi Cruiser van for your chance to participate in games and win prizes! We'll be at Blake Park from 9.00am-4.00pm Monday-Thursday and 9.00am-12.00pm on Friday where we’ll have Spin the Wheel, Throw for Gold, Connect 4 and Cornhole. Our Kiwi Cruiser will be at the sports codes listed below from 10.00am where you can play Cornhole or Spin the Wheel digitally.
Earn points for your school, and the school with the highest score from Spin the Wheel will win a $1000 voucher from Sports Distributors.
