The goal
The campaign raised money for the Cook Islands men's and women's basketball teams heading to the 2026 Polynesian Cup in Tahiti.
It ran without a set dollar goal.
How they ran it on Raised
- A crowdfunding page on Raised, open from 7 September to 24 October 2026.
- 21 players each had their own page under the main campaign.
- The campaign was organised by an individual on behalf of the teams.
- Updates on the page followed the teams through a training camp in Rarotonga and a cyclone that delayed their flight.
The result
The campaign raised $34,509 from 369 contributions by 286 supporters. 367 of those 369 contributions were made on a player's page.
According to the campaign's updates, both teams reached the third-place playoffs. The women played Tahiti and the men played Samoa.
