Major sponsor – Mainland Brand
(Updated June 2011)
This year is the 21st birthday of Mainland’s sponsorship to the Yellow-eyed Penguin Trust through the natural cheese and butter barcode redemption scheme.
The Trust’s newsletter Hoiho (May 2011) featured this relationship, with stories from Mainland and the Trust about the history of the sponsorship and what it has meant to both organisations in today’s philanthropic environment. Click on this link to see the full newsletter and this coverage.
Thanks to Mainland, the yellow-eyed penguin has found its way into the homes, hearts and minds of all New Zealanders.
Since 1989, Mainland has been a major sponsor of the Yellow-eyed Penguin Trust. In 2009, this sponsorship agreement was extended for another three years!
The association between Mainland and the Trust has become much more than just another sponsorship arrangement; it has become a very special relationship. Through the barcode redemption scheme, Mainland has donated more than $1 million to the Trust. Mainland’s further three year commitment shows the ongoing dedication it has to the plight of this endangered bird, and ensures that the Trust can continue its work to help save our native yellow-eyed penguin.
In addition to the huge financial contributions over the past 20 years, Mainland has invested a substantial amount of resource into raising the profile of the Trust and the plight of the yellow-eyed penguin. In October 2006, Mainland launched the “Help Our Sea Friends” promotion to increase the public’s awareness of the Trust. The promotion included a weekly segment on TV2′s Saturday morning kids show, Squirt, as well as displays in stores and stickers on all processed cheese packs.
Don’t forget to keep supporting the barcode redemption scheme and the great work of the Yellow-eyed Penguin Trust. To obtain your Save the Yellow-eyed Penguin chart call Mainland free on 0800 CHEESE (243 373). Once you have filled up your chart with as many specially marked Mainland cheese and butter labels as possible please return it to:
