We’re delighted to be giving this month's staff and company donations to Grandparents Raising Grandchildren, to help them build a national support network for grandparents who step in to raise their grandchildren, often due to family break-down. Thanks for your April votes. Grandparents Raising Grandchildren received $4,100 from their share of the monthly vote, in addition to the $5,032 donated by Sovereign and our staff.
On Sunshine Day our teams faced off in a NZ Music quiz at lunch time, and purchased raffle tickets to win one of 11 prizes. We also celebrated Sovereign Sunshine’s second birthday, and shared it with Diane Vivian from Grandparents Raising Grandchildren, who joined us for lunch. We’re proud to be supporting such a worthy cause, and helping to build a brighter future for Kiwi kids.
