BALLOONS OVER WAIKATO<br />
WAIKATO BUSINESS NEWS <strong>February</strong>/<strong>March</strong> <strong>2020</strong><br />
41<br />
this beautifully unique event.<br />
As the competition for sponsorship<br />
and funding grows<br />
more difficult every year, this<br />
package is tailored to those<br />
people who recognise the<br />
importance of Balloons over<br />
<strong>Waikato</strong> as iconic for our<br />
region and the joy it brings to<br />
thousands of <strong>Waikato</strong> residents<br />
and who want to see it thrive.<br />
Balloons over <strong>Waikato</strong> is a<br />
‘gift’ to our community. The<br />
Trust is committed to ensuring<br />
the event is around for the<br />
long-term future, but recognise<br />
the precarious balancing act in<br />
budgeting to deliver an event<br />
of this scale for free.<br />
The Legacy Partner Group<br />
will be a small group, who<br />
recognise the importance of<br />
an event such as Balloons over<br />
<strong>Waikato</strong>, and who would like<br />
to ensure the event remains an<br />
iconic, much loved <strong>Waikato</strong><br />
Festival for many years to<br />
come. The founding partners<br />
of this group are The Glenice<br />
& John Gallagher Foundation,<br />
The Donny Charitable Trust<br />
and Fosters, and the Trust are<br />
hoping other like-minded business<br />
or individuals would like<br />
to learn more and be part of<br />
this special partnership.<br />
What better way to ensure<br />
the sustainability of Balloons<br />
over <strong>Waikato</strong> for your children,<br />
grandchildren and great grandchildren<br />
and be acknowledged<br />
as instrumental in bringing the<br />
‘gift’ of <strong>Waikato</strong>’s favourite<br />
event to the wider community?<br />
