BNI Members Raises $107,000 For Hospice Around NZ
From South Auckland chapters supporting the Valerie Vili Garden, Fashion and all that Jazz and the Pakuranga Country Golf Club day, as well as various other activities and business breakfasts, BNI chapters around New Zealand joined together to raise more than $107,000 for Hospice.
BNI National Director of BNI New Zealand, Graham Southwell, said that BNI owes its success to the concept of businesses helping each other through the ‘Givers Gain’ philosophy, and giving back to the community is a natural extension of that philosophy.
"Every week our more than 2,600 SME members combine their resources to grow each other's businesses through giving referrals, while also recognising that we are part of the community and that the power of reciprocity is only released when you give without the expectation of getting something back – as we do with hospice," he said.
Chief Executive of Hospice South Auckland, Gary Sturgess, said the involvement of BNI members and the funds they raise for hospice is an inspiration.
"We are very grateful for your support and highly value our partnership with BNI. Thank you all so much." FULL STORY>>
