Think and Be Me Foundation Tractor Trek 2026
Helping Kiwi Kids Build Emotional Resilience One Kilometre at a Time
New Zealand — From 23rd February to 6th March 2026 a convoy of 10-15 tractors will embark on an extraordinary journey from across the North Island to Hawkes Bay
The Think and Be Me Foundation Tractor Trek 2026 is not just a scenic drive; it’s a mission to raise funds and awareness for early intervention children’s mental wellbeing education in New Zealand.
Tractor Trek
Our tractors will collectively travel a HUGE amount of kilometres during the Think and Be Me Foundation Tractor Trek - its not the fastest journey in the world, and much like mental wellbeing education, we have to start early if we want to get to our destination!
The Tractor Trek is a key fundraising event in the Think and be Me Foundation calendar each year - raising funds to support the work that we do ensuring we can continue to support the delivery of exceptional children’s mental wellbeing education to tamariki, teachers and communities across New Zealand.
Think and be Me Foundation is a New Zealand registered charity which funds the delivery of mental wellbeing education for children aged 5-11 years.
Your donation to TBMF ensures that this work can continue throughout 2026.
This year the tractor trek will be ‘co-trekking’ with programme delivery partners Think and Be Me as they deliver the Think and Be Me programme to schools - not only do our trek schools get to have a fun experience with tractors visiting and parking up on their fields, but they will also be participating in a wellbeing show, focused on overcoming anxiety, as well as being the recipients of excellent wellbeing resources and education made available through donation and funding from our community of supporters.
