RaboDirect’s engagement with the Victorian Rugby community provided the perfect vehicle for the bank to express its commitment to corporate responsibility in the form of charitable donations and equipment donations. Over the course of 2015, the bank also donated a wide variety of signed memorabilia to 20 separate fund-raising events.
In addition, RaboDirect threw its warehouse doors open to Victorian Rugby Clubs in April, giving away surplus game-day items including Segways, banners, storage equipment and furniture to clubs including Harlequin, Power House and Box Hill.
Renee Amor, General Manager, Marketing Rabobank Australia and New Zealand said she was delighted with RaboDirect’s fifth year in partnership with the Melbourne Rebels. “The 2015 Melbourne Rebels partnership allowed us to achieve a variety of key sponsorship and marketing objectives, and to surprise and delight a significant group of clients and customers, both in Victoria and interstate,” said Amor.
“I’m confident the achievements of RaboDirect’s 2015 partnership with the Melbourne Rebels will be of enduring benefit both to RaboDirect, and to Victorian Rugby at an elite and a grassroots level,” she said.
