New ‘Champion Business’ category for Highland Events.

and Highland Events have launched a new ‘Champion Business’ category for all it’s events starting with the ‘Mainly Tramping- Wanaka’ Rogaine at the Snow Farm 14th November 2009.  This will be a chance for colleagues to do something fun together and build team morale outside of the work environment.

Businesses enter a team of 2 or more (must be owners/staff or partners) and compete for bragging rights AND $1000 free advertising for the winners, $500 for second and $250  for 3rd!! with Q92MoreFM (The champion business also gets a laminated poster to hang on the wall and keep) If the Champion Business also gets a placing in the open category then merit prizes will apply. If not, no merit prizes will apply but all business category entrants are still able to win spot-prizes.

Reasons your business should enter:

• Create some real camaraderie within your team- the team building effects of competing in events like this legendary!
• Having fitter staff means more productive staff- less days off and better able to stay focused on the task, not to mention the all-round improvement in mood, motivation and self confidence…
• Beat the snot out of your competition.
• Promote your brand/business to a key market- participants in our events are opinion leaders. By their nature they are highly self motivated and respected by others in the community, seeing your business compete in their sport will elevate their perception of you.
• Use this event as a marketing tool, take some good pictures and do a media release/ include photos in your next newsletter to make it more interesting…
• You could win some free advertising on the radio!!
• If you need more ideas or want Ed or Terry to do a presentation to your business on the benefits of entering please don’t be shy about emailing us.

Help Katharine reach her goal – 2010 Winter Olympics – Fun Fundraising Rogaine

Highland Events are organising a Rogaine as a fundraiser to assist Katharine Eustace, a  local Wanaka physiotherapist in her quest to represent New Zealand as a Skeleton racer in the 2011 World Champs.

This is how you can help us make fundraising FUN.  We are going to have a 3hr and a 6hr Rogaine.  This is going to be a great opportunity for beginners to get involved in a great family sport, or get your work mates together and make up a team.  The entry fee is going to be $20 per person, $10 for under 19′s, which will include a meal and some give-aways  and lots of fun after the event.  We are also going to have some interesting  items for auction.

For beginners to rogaining Ed and Terry are going to be available for an hour from 11am on Saturday 25 September to give free tuition on map reading and how Rogaines actually work.  It’s really easy, if you can walk for 3hrs you are totally up for this event and at the same time help Katharine to reach her goal.
