Proud to be from Northland is an understatement when it comes to 3 x D1NZ Champ Gaz Whiter, 2006 D1NZ Champ Daniel Woolhouse and rising star Robee Nelson of local motorsport team Driftcorp.
As 3 leading talents in the Cody’s D1NZ National Drifting Champ, the drivers are using their home round in Whangarei on the 10th and 11th of March to assist with a cause close to their hearts, Project Promise.
By bidding on the ride of a lifetime, you can play your part in helping too.

“Project Promise has been set up by Northland Community Foundation (NCF) to raise funds, through community fundraising to build a new Oncology Facility in Whangarei to better serve the people of Northland.
The initial assessment of funds to be raised to complete this project was $3,000,000 in three years however that figure has to be formally confirmed through a concept design process which is now in the final stages.
There is a Memorandum of Understanding between NCF and Northland District Health Board (NDHB) which clarifies expectations of both parties. The building will be owned by the NCF on behalf of the people of Northland with the NDHB managing and delivering the services.
The Oncology unit will primarily be an ambulatory facility for the delivery of chemotherapy treatment and multi‐disciplinary outpatient consultations.
Project Promise will benefit the majority of the people of Northland, from cancer patients through to family (whanau) and friends.
Project Promise launched on March 19th 2010 and in the first 15 months has fundraised over $650,000 which is an amazing result from a community that has high unemployment and is categorised as needing increased levels of social support.
This achievement has come through community innovation and recognition that Northland needs an oncology facility that better fits the cancer journey of patients and their family (whanau).
This is the largest project ever undertaken by a Community Foundation throughout New Zealand and support from business, organisations, clubs and people is key to the $3 million in 3 years challenge.”
