Community balance...
Community • Compassion • Lifestyle
On the daily we are celebrating and advocating for Bay of Plenty and South Waikato by promoting careers and lifestyles in these exceptional provinces. Over the years we have supported the community in many ways from fundraising to careers expos to sponsoring and judging Business Awards. Here is what we have been supporting lately:
Rotorua Marathon 2025
Team Talent (Kellie, Bex and Chopper) completed the 12km event at the Rotorua Red Stag Marathon May 2025. This marks our third consecutive year participating to raise funds for charity, and this year we were thrilled to support the Rotorua Community Hospice. We raised over $600. Your support means the world to us and makes a real difference to the hospice services in our community.
Cocktails For A Cause 2024
We hosted Talent ID Cocktails For A Cause in June 2024 raising $3,010.52 for the Graeme Dingle Foundation Rotorua. Terrace Kitchen served expertly crafted cocktails and delicious food while guests enjoyed live music.
Rotorua Marathon 2024
In May 2024, we completed the Rotorua Half Marathon and we couldn’t be more proud of ourselves. We raised $1,050 for Rotorua Community Hospice which we are so pleased about. Thank you to everyone who supported us in this adventure.
