Two talented Northland teenagers did more than gain national prominence when they won last year s Korihi 2020 with their original waiata Waimarie.
They also made a massive contribution to Shine on Kaitaia, which they named as their chosen charity to receive the $50,000 prize.
The windfall became official at a small ceremony at Te Ahu, where April Hetaraka, from He Whānau Marama Trust, received the prize on Shine on Kaitaia s behalf.
