We have been supporting the New Zealand Dairy Industry Awards since 2003. We sponsor the Auckland/Hauraki, Waikato, Bay of Plenty and Central Plateau districts.
The New Zealand Dairy Industry Awards promote and showcase excellence across the whole spectrum of the dairy industry, helping to lift on-farm performance and develop future leaders.
Promotion of the awards help the public become more aware of, and understand, the importance of the dairy industry.
In 2016 we commenced sponsorship of the Bay of Plenty Young Fruit Grower of the Year Competition. This competition presents some of the Bay of Plenty’s brightest young fruit growers. It gives these future leaders the opportunity to display their horticulture skills in a fast-paced competitive environment.
We’re very proud to sponsor the Bay Trust Rescue Helicopter for the Rotorua/Bay of Plenty area – providing 24 hour emergency service 365 days of the year. A BIG thanks to the helicopter crew involved in the rescue of our colleague, Laura Stuart, who had a serious mountain bike accident in Whakarewarewa Forest in February 2016.
BlackmanSpargo is proud to support the Geyser Community Foundation promoting giving for the benefit of local charities, community groups and our future generations. Chris Spargo volunteers his time as a trustee of the Geyser Community Foundation and the firm offers clients free updates to their Wills to include a gift to the local community through the Geyser Community Foundation.
Annual sponsors of Reporoa Squash Rackets Club “Farmers’ Squash Club Tournament”.
We provide pro bono legal services to the Empowered Learning Trust whose vision is to remove barriers to learning and help young people reach their full potential within the rural community.
In 2015, we started the “BlackmanSpargo Rural Law Sports Scholarship” as we recognised the importance of supporting young people participating in high-level sport where costs can be prohibitive.
This scholarship benefits children of clients or staff (under the age of 20), and acknowledges excellence in their chosen sport. Click here to see previous winners.
