The Auckland Seafood Festival is a three-day extravaganza of New Zealand’s best seafood, musical acts and live demonstrations. And, with FYD’s Kiwi Can programme as one of the official recipient charities, the funds raised go to a great cause!

The 2012 event will be held on the 28th, 29th & 30th January 2012 at Auckland’s vibrant new addition, Wynyard Quarter. With about 130 dishes available and a fantastic selection of New Zealand beer and wine, plus loads of great Kiwi acts, and the Kiwi Can team onsite to entertain the kids, it’s a pretty great way to spend Auckland’s Anniversary weekend!

General admission tickets will be $20 but until 31 December 2011 tickets are just $15 online at Eventfinder. No booking fees, delivery or courier charges.

Event Dates: 28, 29 & 30 January 2012
Hours: 11am to 6pm all three days

Sir Edmund Hillary often described himself as a "plodder"... and there is no shortage of children like him in our schools today. No shortage of children with untapped potential for excellence.

The Foundation for Youth Development (FYD) was founded by Sir Ed's friend and climbing companion, Graeme Dingle and lawyer Jo-anne Wilkinson in 1995 as the Project K Trust, Sir Ed as one of the first Trustees. They wanted to take a practical step forward to address high levels of negative youth statistics in New Zealand.  

FYD has grown into a leader in the field of youth development and now runs several, proven programmes that lift the skills, self-confidence, motivation and achievements of young New Zealanders aged 5 – 18 years.

FYD’s programmes help young people discover possibility – creating a youth population with a positive outlook and eyes open to the future.

As Sir Ed once said, "it's all about the kids."
