A Shared Commitment to Mental Health
We’re incredibly honoured to be one of the main sponsors of Waimea Old Boys Rugby Football Club, a partnership that goes beyond just logos and branding. Thanks to the dedication of club manager Shar Lowe and the incredible team at Waimea, this collaboration is helping to foster a supportive, positive environment where mental health is prioritised. This club truly embodies values that align with hope is my homeboy's mission of supporting well-being, connection, and resilience within the community.
Creating a Culture of Care
At Waimea Old Boys, our kaupapa is visible on the players' kits—a reminder that mental health is just as important as physical fitness. This visible commitment has sparked a shift in club culture. By displaying a message of support on their uniforms, Waimea Old Boys is sending a powerful statement: mental health matters, and every player, coach, and fan is part of a supportive community. Through this initiative, the club is empowering players to speak openly about their struggles, and several have already found the courage to reach out for support, showing just how impactful this partnership has been.
Uniting the Club for a Greater Cause
This collaboration has also brought a new focus to club leadership. Instead of getting caught up in the usual club politics or competition talk, Waimea’s leadership has united under the common goal of promoting mental health awareness. This focus has not only strengthened bonds within the club but also reinforced a supportive, caring atmosphere that sets an inspiring example for sports clubs everywhere.
Looking Forward
As our partnership continues, we’re excited to see the positive ripple effects within Waimea and beyond. By prioritising mental health, Waimea Old Boys is leading the way in showing how sports clubs can foster communities that are compassionate and resilient. We’re grateful to be part of this journey and look forward to future collaborations and hangouts with this amazing club. Together, we’re making strides toward a brighter, more supportive future for everyone involved.
