BMO and Harvey Norman UNLEASH their support
Dalby companies BMO Accountants and Harvey Norman have
thrown their support behind local youth by each giving
a $1,000 donation to the up-and-coming Unleash event.
Unleash is a youth event being held at Dalby Showgrounds
on 5 April featuring the action-packed extreme sports
exhibitions by non-profit Christian youth organisation
- JC Epidemic.
BMO Partner Adrian Rasmussen said BMO was proud to support
the event designed to capture the attention of young
people in our region and motivate them towards positive
life choices.
“The young adults in our community are our future
leaders. Anything we can do to encourage positive experiences
for our youth is so important,” he said.
BMO has a policy of providing opportunity for young
adults through its traineeship program that allows selected
high school graduates to work while undertaking tertiary
studies.
Harvey Norman Franchisee Steve Walker was also very
excited to be supporting such a high standard youth event.
With a young workforce (all current employees at Dalby’s
Harvey Norman are under the age of 25), Steve said he
believed in creating opportunities for young people.
“We can relate to the needs and aspirations of
young people in rural areas and were really keen to get
behind an event that is tailored to youth. Besides, we
ourselves are looking forward to the fun event.”
Mr Walker praised Unleash organisers Corey Back, Ben
Hansen and Melissa Bartle, who have been working tirelessly
to bring the event to the region.
The drug-and-alcohol-free event, held as part of Dalby’s
Youth Week, will showcase freestyle motocross, BMX, skating,
street dancing and live music. There will also be information
stalls and opportunities for young people to find out
more about community and social clubs they can become
involved in.
Both Mr Rasmussen and Mr Walker encouraged other local
businesses to give their support, whether it be in-kind
or financial contributions, to Unleash.
