With sponsorship exceeding over $30,000 already this year our support lends a helping hand, allowing more people with a disability participate in sports training and competition on a regular basis.  

"Individual donors, business partners and sponsors make it possible for Special Olympics to offer young people and adults with an intellectual disability the opportunity to develop physical fitness, demonstrate courage and experience joy through participation in sports training and competition and other support programmes." says Alastair Hutchens CEO, Special Olympics New Zealand. 

"Sponsorship also increases the community awareness and understanding of Special Olympics, and ensures that more and more of the public become privy to our fantastic organisation and the benefits it provides our Athletes. It's great to have Provender as a fan of Special Olympics - their ongoing support and contribution has played a significant role in the progression of Special Olympics New Zealand for which we are very grateful!"
