Light It Orange 3.02

What is Light It Orange?

During the week 4-10 March 2017, Kiwis will light it orange and shine a light onto the dark subject of domestic abuse.

This is our special week to raise awareness and much needed funds to continue Shine’s life-saving work with victims of domestic abuse.

Our sponsors and celebrity ambassadors will once again help us to spread the word and get more of you involved in 2017.

Why should I ‘Light It Orange’?

Every 5 minutes NZ Police respond to a domestic abuse incident, and only about 20% of domestic abuse is reported to the police. By ‘lighting it orange’ on 4-10 March 2017, you and your posse are standing with us, at Shine, to say that domestic abuse is not okay. And you’ll also be helping to raise much needed funds for Shine to continue helping victims of domestic abuse to get safe and stay safe.

Who can I 'Light It Orange' with?

Anyone and everyone! It'd be great if you went orange with your workplace, school, sports group, club, or even your flatmates.

Okay, I'm in! How do I register to 'Light It Orange'?

Wahoo! You can register and get more information about Light It Orange at www.LightItOrange.org.nz, where you can also set up your own fundraising page. You can also go there for more fundraising ideas and to order posters, balloons, t-shirts and more.

And don't forget to tell all your friends about Light It Orange!
