Westpac Big Chip in for Christchurch

In light of even more recent earthquakes, New Zealanders feel it is time to remind our friends in Canterbury that we continue to think of them and are getting in behind the Big Chip in for Christchurch on Friday 15 July.

The objective of the day is to cover the country in red and black and give them a national bear hug to reassure them they are not forgotten. It is NOT a fundraising campaign.

On the day, Kiwis across the country are being encouraged to wear red and black and to do something for someone in Christchurch - call a friend or workmate there, buy a Christchurch made product, send food or clothing to the Salvation Army etc. The rationale being that the small contributions of individuals from around the country can make a collective difference to those in Christchurch.

Schools around NZ could show their support by encouraging their pupils to wear Red and Black on Friday while pupils might event want to engage through various social media links as below:
  • Like the Facebook page
  • To share a link on their own Facebook page encouraging their networks to 'Chip In for Christchurch'.
  • To tweet the hash tag: #chipinforchch on the 15th of July 2011
