Marist Sports Palmerston North Fund

Background

Following the establishment In 1976 the formation of The Marist Club (PN) was Incorporated with a formal constitution to include all the sports playing under Marist. Land was purchased at 17A Pascal St Palmerston North and in 1979 the first section of the Clubrooms was built. 

The city Mayor Mr (later Sir) Brian Elwood opened the Club at Easter in 1980. Within 3 years the Club was extended by another third (nowadays The Back Trophy room). From a humble membership of 300 in 1976, the Club grew over the next 40 years to nearly 3000 (2016). 

Charitable Purpose

With an eye on a sustainable future and an increasingly important role in communities throughout the region, Marist Sports Palmerston North are looking to establish an endowment fund that will dedicate annual distributions to the future needs of the organisation.
