After learning that WEL Networks Ltd has pulled the plug on their annual sponsorship of the Raglan New Year’s Eve Fireworks, the Raglan Chamber of Commerce is appealing to businesses for a new sponsor to come forward. WEL Networks left it until just five weeks before the event before advising that they wouldn’t be contributing this year.
Request from Raglan Chamber of Commerce follows:
WEL Networks Ltd advised on Friday 23, that they do not intend to fund this Raglan event for New Year’s Eve 2012. This is very disappointing and frustrating for the organiser, Raglan Cultural and Event Trust.
In order to have a worthwhile community fireworks display we need $5000 and for the fireworks licence to be processed in time, the event has to have proven funding by Friday 30 November.
So this is an URGENT request……will you or your business please help sponsor the event this year? Any amount will help and will be most sincerely appreciated.
Please reply to me on info@raglanchamber.co.nz if you can commit to a donation or sponsorship arrangement, stating how much you’re able to donate. Or please ring me on 825 7003.
Please forward this email to anyone you believe might also be able to help.
Kind Regards,
