Cash for Communities raises $482,000
PGG Wrightson and Ballance Agri-Nutrients would like to thank the farming community for taking part in the Cash for Communities programme. Eight programmes over the past seven years have raised
$482,000 for schools and community organisations around New Zealand. That’s a great effort!
The programme enjoyed strong support during the 2017 spring season with over 500 farmers taking part. Any farmer who purchased participating Ballance fertiliser on their PGG Wrightson account between 1 September and 30 November 2017 could earn $1 per tonne for their local school, Rescue Helicopter or other listed community organisation.
In conjunction with the Cash for Communities programme we ran an iPad promotion where the school with the highest number of nominations in the North Island and South Island receive three Apple iPad Pros each and the school with the second highest number of nominations in the North Island and South Island receive two Apple iPad Pros each. Congratulations to the four schools who received the highest number of nominations: North Island – Goodwood School and Lake Rerewhakaaitu School, South Island – Fairlie Primary School and Amuri Area School.
PGG Wrightson and Ballance Agri-Nutrients are now distributing donations to nominated recipients nationwide.*
