Book with Purpose. Travel knowing you’re making a difference.

Dee’s Book with Purpose initiative at The Travellers New Zealand every travel booking - big or small - contributes directly to supporting youth mental health across Aotearoa through I AM HOPE

We’re delighted to have Travellers sponsoring the on-course beverages at the Choice Electrical Charity Golf Day next week in support of I Am Hope.

If you're attending, make sure you stop and say hello to Dee from Travellers. She is very passionate about reinventing the way travel can give back to our communities and showing how every journey can create a positive impact.

A huge thank you to Travellers for supporting this event and helping raise awareness and funds for I Am Hope.

There are people who sponsor events.
And there are people who build communities.

Glen Archer from MTF Finance Howick Pakuranga is one of those people.

Glen is one of the OG’s from our PURC team. He was there when we first launched at Pakuranga Rugby. When we started at Ponsonby Rugby, he drove from Beachlands day after day just to help us set up and see us through.

That is heart.
That is loyalty.
That is community.

As the Naming Sponsor of our Building Business Momentum event, Glen continues to back local businesses and support the wider community.

But more than that, Glen is someone you can call. Someone you can sit with. Someone who genuinely listens.

At The Elite Community, business is the doorway. Relationships are the destination.

Glen lives that every day.

From all of us, thank you Glen. We are grateful to have you in our corner.

If you see Glen around, give him a high five.

Last night was something special.

The energy. The conversations. The laughter. The connections.

To everyone who showed up, supported and leaned in thank you. What we are building through The Elite Community is bigger than business. It is about relationships. It is about backing our local club. It is about standing alongside I Am Hope and strengthening the fabric of our community.

When local business owners, leaders and families come together with shared intent powerful things happen.

This is what community looks like.
This is what shared growth feels like.

Thank you to our sponsors, our Partners, our guests and every person who helped create the vibe in that room. You made it what it was.

If you have been watching from the sidelines and feeling the pull come and experience it for yourself.

Follow our page. Stay connected. Be part of what we are building.

We rise by growing together.

This Thursday is our Building Business Momentum Speed Networking event at Ponsonby Rugby Club, and we’re proud to have Glen from MTF Finance Howick backing us as our named event sponsor.
