Supporting the Trust
Major Sponsor - Mainland Brand
 Thanks
to Mainland, the Yellow-eyed penguin has found its way into the
homes, hearts and minds of all New Zealander's.
Since 1989, Mainland has been a major sponsor of the Yellow-eyed
Penguin Trust. In August 2006, 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 $1million to the Trust. Mainland's
further three year commitment shows the on-going dedication it has
to the plight of this endangered bird, and ensures the Trust can
continue its work to help save our native yellow-eyed penguin.
In addition to the huge financial contributions over the past 17
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, 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 store and stickers on all processed cheese
packs.
Don't forget to keep supporting the barcode redemption scheme and
help support 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 possible
please return it to:
