'Support Women's Sport Basin Reserve' campaign lacks support as deadline looms

August 12, 2019

The crowdfunding campaign aiming to secure two-year naming rights for the Basin Reserve - and name it the Support Women's Sport Basin Reserve - is still well short of its target.

A $100,000 fundraising drive was kicked off last month in order to raise the cash needed, but the target has since been revised down to $50,000, or one year's worth of naming rights.

As of 1pm today, the campaign had raised about $10,000 from 85 people.

Megan Compain wants to highlight an issue close to her heart with the Wellington venue opening itself up to naming rights.

It is due to conclude tonight at 9pm and if it doesn't reach the $50,000 target, those who pledged money will be refunded.

The campaign was supported by Wellington Mayor Justin Lester, councillor Fleur Fitzsimons and sports broadcaster and TVNZ executive Melodie Robinson.
