As a part of this year’s major sponsorship of the Taranaki Bulls, Atlas Professionals New Zealand is delighted to announce that the Taranaki Retreat will receive fundraising support from our Points for Charity Programme. For every point scored by the Yarrows Taranaki Bulls in a home game, Atlas Professionals will donate $50 to the Taranaki Retreat.
Points for Charity
In early July, Atlas Professionals invited the public to nominate and vote for Taranaki community-based charities to receive Points for Charity. People enthusiastically seized the opportunity, resulting in a very close race between the Taranaki Retreat, the Little Fighters Trust and Women’s Refuge.
The Atlas Professionals team at the office in New Plymouth then voted among the top 3 charities chosen by the public, with a unanimous decision to support Taranaki Retreat this coming season.
“Taranaki Retreat is delighted to be partnering with Atlas Professionals and their awesome Points for Charity Initiative. All funds raised will go towards the Suicide Prevention work that is our passion,” says Suzy Allen of Taranaki Retreat. “Support the game, support the Bulls and you'll be supporting a 'Space to Breathe' - Taranaki Retreat.”
Strong community ties
Atlas Professionals is a global recruitment and HR services provider for Energy, Marine and Renewables.
