In Maori culture, the concept of receiving with one hand is connected to giving with the other - Michael’s grandmother taught him this.
The motivation behind the establishment of the Michael Campbell Foundation to fulfil Michael’s feeling of responsibility to reciprocate the inspiration and encouragement that has helped him throughout his career and life.
The mission of the Michael Campbell Foundation is to inspire young New Zealanders to realise their full potential. This will be achieved by building a ‘Talent Pyramid’ based on healthy lifestyle, discovering talent and nurturing excellence.
Michael believes he will be able to make a significant and positive impact upon the needs of many young people in the years to come.
