Active supporters of the North Shore community, and riding off the success of their recent Bingo night fundraiser which saw the team helping to raise over $6,000 for Beach Haven Primary School, Ray White Beach Haven are looking forward to the schools next fundraising event: the Art, Craft and Kai Fair in early September – and are also getting ready for the next round of their own Barefoot Bowls tournament.
Beach Haven Primary School is a multicultural school that encourages and promotes community involvement. Their belief that children’s education reaches its full potential when parents, communities and schools work together is fully supported by the team at Ray White Beach Haven. – Glenn’s Ray White Beach Haven office were principal sponsors of the school’s recent Bingo night – with a table of 12 team members also competing. “There were a large amount of prizes donated by local business’ and Tim Obern once again generously provided his services as a charity auctioneer… He was in fine form perhaps having more fun with it than he is able to normally.” says Glenn Carpenter of Ray White Beach Haven. “The school raised close to $6,000 and we are looking forward to sponsoring more events to help the school with its fundraising” adds Glenn – a long-standing resident of the North Shore Community – having grown up in the area as a child, and having worked there now since 1996.
Proud members of the Ray White North Shore zone, Ray White Beach Haven are actively involved in the community through their support of various school initiatives (including a Kids Movie Night at the school – where a popcorn machine proved quite a hit with the kids and 150 plus people). The teams next school event, the Beach Haven Primary Art, Craft and Kai Fair, is coming up on Thursday 18 September.
“Community spirit is alive and well here in Beach Haven and you will enjoy the feeling of security and belonging that goes hand in hand with getting to know your neighbours.” says Glenn Carpenter, Principal of Ray White Beach Haven (pictured above). Glenn, who is also a part of the Beach Haven Birkdale Residents’ Association and a Patron of the Beach Haven Bowling Club, also hosts the ‘Ray White Beach Haven Barefoot Bowls’ – an annual event to raise awareness and funds for the bowling club within the ‘Celebrate Beach Haven Month’. Glenn’s latest video “Why we love Beach Haven” which is proudly displayed on the Beach Have office website hightlights the uniqueness of the North Shore and Beach Haven areas, and has been well received in the area.
Sarah Pearce, Growth and Performance Executive for Ray White New Zealand who is working closely with the nine offices on the North Shore says she is “proud of Glenn and his team on the shore who always step up in support of their local community. From their House of Dreams project in support of Beach Haven Plunket – through to their support of the primary school and bowling club, it is inspiring to see business owners such as Glenn not only invest in their local communities but get actively involved… At the end of the day – it is clear to see why Glenn and his team are so passionate about the North Shore area and promoting it!”
