"We are proud to renew our partnership with Bendigo Community Bank." said Snowy Hydro SouthCare Trust CEO Chris Kimball.
"This sort of support is critical for Snowy Hydro SouthCare, our service just completed a record year of operations, being tasked to more than 509 missions in the past financial year."
"Both Snowy Hydro SouthCare and Bendigo Bank provide important services in our region, we share the same values and commitment to supporting our local communities." "We are proud to display our logo sponsors like Bendigo Community Bank on the helicopter as our crews undertake life-saving missions across our broad and diverse service area."
The partnership has delivered more than $200,000 in financial support for the helicopter service since 2011 and draws on contributions from Bendigo Community Bank branches in NSW including Boorowa and Braidwood as well as ACT branches such as Calwell and Curtin.
Dion Christie, Bendigo and Adelaide Bank State Marketing Manager for NSW/ACT, says the commitment to Snowy Hydro SouthCare is one of Bendigo Bank's most important community partnerships.
Palerang Financial Services (Braidwood and Bungendore Branches) have contributed $60k in the past 4 years.
"This is not a sponsorship, this is a true partnership between two like-minded organisations who share the same set of values and beliefs." Mr Christie said. "We have 10 branches within the ACT/South East NSW region and all 10 are proudly supporting Snowy Hydro SouthCare."
To acknowledge the fresh partnership with Snowy Hydro SouthCare, a reception and hangar visit for Bendigo Bank local branch managers was held at the helicopter base in Hume last Thursday.
