Mojo and Cricket Wellington partnership benefits The Neonatal Trust (Wellington)

Mojo Coffee's partnership with Cricket Wellington for the 2009-2010 summer has also proved beneficial for the Neonatal Trust (Wellington).

Mojo have been long term supporters of the Neonatal Trust and Cricket Wellington's partnership with Mojo has given birth to a relationship with the Trust.

Cricket Wellington, in wanting to support the work of the Trust, have partnered with Mojo in two initiatives this summer to deliver support.

The first initiative, 'Firebirds on the Foreshore', hosted outside Mojo's Headquarters at Shed 11 on Queen's Wharf was an opportunity for the public to bowl to and face the Firebirds in a large inflatable net to win prizes. Collections were taken from participants which were in turn donated to the Trust. The event was very well supported by Wellington's suits down town.

The second was at the Wellington Firebirds' last home HRV Cup match against the Northern Knights on 24 January. Cricket Wellington was proud to donate $1.00 from every ticket sold to the Trust from the Mojo sponsored match. Unfortunately the wet weather meant the match recorded a small gate but in spite of this almost $1,000 was raised for the Trust.

Trust Treasurer Michael Meads is thrilled with this year's initiatives and says the money raised will go towards monitors to be used in the Wellington Neonatal Intensive Care Unit which the Trust is purchasing.

The Trust is, as always, very grateful for the tremendous support of our partners. In this particular case, Mojo, through the extension of their own partnership with Cricket Wellington created  two opportunities to generate funds to help fund the Trust's work to support neonatal families in the Wellington area. Thank you Mojo and Thank you Cricket Wellington!
