Here at Smart Pack, we believe that true kindness comes through helping other Kiwis in need. We endeavour to give back to the community, and that’s why we created our new Caring For Our Community Initiative. As part of this initiative, each employee has selected a NZ charity of their choice, and every 24 days (or less), Smart Pack commits to donate to a selected employee’s charity on their behalf. Our Managing Director, Leon Currie, was the 2nd person to choose a charity. Leon’s selected charity is Cancer Society, who Smart Pack are proud to support. Read more about the incredible work this charity does below:
‘Cancer doesn’t stop, so we won’t either.’
Every year, 25,000+ New Zealander’s are diagnosed with cancer. The Cancer Society believes that no one should go through their cancer journey alone. Whether it’s driving someone to their treatment, providing advice to someone who has rung their 0800 number, or sitting with them during their treatment – the Cancer Society is there. But they can’t do this without help. Every dollar raised for Daffodil Day goes towards cancer care for patients and their whānau, education and awareness programmes, and life-saving cancer research. Our contribution to this amazing organisation helps make a difference to the lives of many Kiwis, and ensures no one in New Zealand has to go through cancer alone.
Leon Currie chose Cancer Society as his charity of choice
Due to Covid-19, Cancer Society’s annual Daffodil Day Street Appeal (27th of August) was cancelled this year. We wanted to do our bit by getting involved in this awesome initiative online instead.
