In their travels around New Zealand, All Blacks Richie McCaw, Dan Carter and Ali Williams have come across many communities struggling to raise funds for relatively small projects – like fixing a playground or changing shed, resurfacing a school pool or BMX track or simply adding hoops to the basketball court. While small, finishing these projects would make a huge difference to the community, encourage active participation and raise community spirit. Often it’s the little things that are most important; so the guys decided to keep it simple.
The three established the For Everyone Charitable Foudation in 2009. The foundation has recently partnered with some of New Zealand's top artists (including Stan Walker, Boh Runga, Jackie Thomas, Annie Crummer and Moorhouse) to release the charity single ‘A SONG FOR EVERYONE’ available on iTunes now.
The aim is to raise money and awareness for the For Everyone Charitable Foundation. Richie, the Foundation’s Chairman, says, “we got some of our best artists and leaders in their chosen field on board with the Foundation through ‘Song For Everyone’. Thank you to all those who gave the project their resource, time and talent, for free. What an awesome team!”
Writer and co-producer of ‘Song For Everyone’ Vince Harder says of the team effort; “Song For Everyone became a reality because of the love and generosity of all involved!”
Ali Williams adds, “The For Everyone Charitable Foundation is all about Kiwis helping their fellow Kiwis. 100% of the profits from each track downloads is going to the Foundation, so that we can give out more grants and resources across New Zealand. I’m really grateful to everyone involved”.
Dan Carter adds, “we’ve given out more than 80 grants so far, which we are proud of. Song For Everyone will mean everyone in New Zealand has a chance to be part of what we are doing, by supporting it. Vince and the team have created something that we find inspiring – for all New Zealanders, all ages, for everyone.”
