Some new sports gear, new books, or perhaps some musical instruments? Local teachers and students at schools around the country will be pondering this question on their return to school next week after recent donations totalling $30,000.
The money was donated by national fertiliser co-operative Ballance Agri-Nutrients, in conjunction with PGG Wrightson, which ran a promotion whereby each tonne of fertiliser purchased during the promotion qualified for a $2.00 grant to the school nominated by the purchaser.
‘This is the third time we have run the promotion with PGG Wrightson, and this year we are donating funds to over 120 schools throughout New Zealand,’ says Ballance Sales and Marketing General Manager Graeme Smith.
‘It’s extremely rewarding to give something back to the local communities that support us, and we look forward to being able to provide further support to our up-and-coming generation of New Zealanders in the future.’
