For the third year running, Hubbards has had a number of employees partake in this wonderful fundraising event – Shave for a Cure. This year was the biggest yet, with 15 people from both Hubbards and from our sales team – Twin Agencies – shaving their heads. One of the participants was a woman (Rachel Bergquist – NPD and Marketing Manager), who dyed her hair black. Other shavees in the group were the CEO & CFO of Hubbards, the Director of Twin Agencies and none other than Dick Hubbard himself!

In case you don’t know what Shave for a Cure is, it’s the main fundraising event for the Leukaemia &and Blood Foundation (LBF). Every day 6 NZ children and adults are diagnosed with leukaemia, lymphoma, myeloma and related blood conditions.

The fundraising from this event goes towards helping the foundation support the patients and their families through their tough times, as well as fund research and education.

A very worthy cause that Hubbards is proud to support. The team at Hubbards and Twin managed to raise approximately $7,500 through sponsorships, Trade Me auctions and raffles (with prizes donated by a number of generous suppliers and contacts). Hubbards then matched that money to donate a total of $15,000!! A great effort from a relatively small company. Well done to everyone involved!
