 Caitlin's Big Day Out

The Yardhouse, Grandview Mall, Nawton
Caitlin's Big Day Out returned for the last time this year, raising funds for True Colours whilst celebrating Caitlin's life with a music and family event. 

Caitlin would have been 10 years old this year.  No-one who knew Caitlin will ever forget her smile, her laugh, her gentle nature, her artistic talents.  She bravely battled her rare brain tumour, but passed away in 2008.

By organising Caitlin's Big Day Out, Caitlin's family raised funds to help True Colours continue their service supporting other Waikato children and their families.
