The Walk Without Fear and Diamond Charitable Trust Charities have made the difficult decision to cancel the BMW M4 raffle. Unfortunately, we didn’t reach the sales benchmarks needed to go ahead.

We know times are incredibly challenging for many Kiwis right now, there are many worthy causes seeking public support.

While we’re disappointed, we’re also genuinely grateful to everyone who bought a ticket, shared our message, and supported the mission to cancel the coward punch and reduce street violence across Aotearoa.

Refunds for Ticket Purchasers
Rest assured—everyone who purchased a ticket will receive a full refund automatically through the Vega platform. We will be in touch via email, on Monday, 1 December to confirm the process.

If you run into any issues at all, just reach out—we’re here to help.

The Impact of the Campaign
Despite the raffle not going ahead, the Cancel the Coward Punch campaign has made a huge impact. Public awareness has grown massively through the collaboration between the Diamond Charitable Trust and the Walk Without Fear Trust.

We’re already seeing positive shifts in how people talk about and understand the issue of street violence. This momentum also strengthens our ability to push for meaningful legislative and social change.

In the first six weeks alone, our messages reached around 4.5 million views on Instagram—an amazing milestone for young charities like ours. The kōrero this has sparked will truly make a difference.
We’ve been blown away by the support from communities across the country.

Thank you once again for believing us. We’d love for you to stay connected with the movement to Cancel the Coward Punch and help us continue building safer, more respectful communities.
