One Love 2016 was a huge success and
the love remains in the air with news the festival donated $15,000 to charity!
PATO ENTERTAINMENT,
the promoter behind this year’s February 6 and 7 reggae festival, has donated a
cheque for $15,000 to the One
Love charitable partner - Homes Of Hope Charitable Trust.
“We are proud to be supporting an amazing organisation like Homes of Hope, who
take care of kids in need,” says Pato
Alvarez, director of PATO
ENTERTAINMENT.
“Kids are the future and that’s what we see – if we all help a little,
especially with the kids, the future will be better for all of us. What Homes of Hope is
doing is amazing.
“This is the second year we have done this and in the first year we kept it
private, but now we want to announce it - not to show off but to send a message
to other businesses around the country to do the same! Every little bit helps
to be a better world.”
Homes of Hope
Charitable Trust provides an innovative response to
children in need of care and protection due to neglect and/or abuse. Based in
the Bay, Homes
of Hope is an amazing foundation that ensures our future
leaders are given every opportunity to grow up in a safe, stable environment –
and for the 2016 festival, OneLove gave
back to the community – with every ticket sold to the festival donating $1.
Homes of Hopeare beyond ecstatic at the $15,000 donation, with spokesperson Hilary Pricesaying:
“We are obviously amazingly and HUGELY STOKED to have the support of Pato and
his team and the One
Love event! On so very many levels!
“The support, encouragement and friendship mean everything to us. And the HUGE
financial contribution will allow us to continue building our services to
support these most vulnerable children. Because they matter! They have many
varied needs to be met and we are passionate about giving them that support,
just as we do with our own tamariki.
“Developing our Child Centred Play Therapy child counselling practice, along
with a Mentoring Care practice will be a strong focus for us this year, and
these funds will greatly help in that regard. The event’s name says it all
really – One Love…. One Child at a time ... all doing something to make their world and ours a
better place!”
