Street violence has claimed too many lives, and it’s time to take a stand. 

That’s why we’re proud to support the Walk Without Fear Charitable Trust as they launch a powerful nationwide campaign to raise awareness about the devastating impact of coward punches and one-punch attacks.

And to get people more involved, they’re giving away a limited-edition BMW M4 CSL, worth a massive $341,000, in a nationwide raffle. Entries are open to all Kiwi residents from 29 August to 21 November 2025, with the winner drawn on 29 November 2025. You just have to buy a $50 raffle ticket and you’re in the draw.

But this isn’t just about winning an epic car - it’s about starting a conversation and changing attitudes, with the aim of shining a light on the irreversible consequences of these violent acts, and inspiring real change.

“Each time a life is taken or shattered by a coward punch, it creates ripples that destroy families and communities,” says Walk Without Fear Trust Chairman Eugene Bareman. 

“We need everyone to see these attacks for what they are: abhorrent, unforgivable, and completely unacceptable.”

A huge highlight? A choreographed dance video featuring UFC legend Israel Adesanya, coach Eugene Bareman, and fighters Carlos Ulberg and Navajo Stirling. Adesanya not only stars in the video but also choreographed it, and convinced the famously reserved Bareman to dance on camera for the very first time.

“There’s no point having a platform if you can’t use it to do some good,” Adesanya says. “If a video like this can help change even one person’s mindset and stop one coward punch, it’s worth it.”

The campaign kicks off with its first live activation at The Hub Hornby in Christchurch on Saturday, 30 August, at 12pm, where ambassadors and the Walk Without Fear team will connect with the community in person.

Tickets for the BMW M4 CSL raffle are on sale now, with proceeds going directly towards anti-violence programs, education initiatives, and nationwide awareness campaigns.
