Auckland, 22 January 2020: Leading gases and engineering company BOC, a subsidiary of Linde plc, today announced a new national corporate giving partnership with Child Cancer Foundation. 

As part of the partnership, BOC’s staff across New Zealand will rally behind the Child Cancer Foundation through an exclusive program of fundraising and volunteering initiatives in 2020. 

John Evans, BOC South Pacific Managing Director, said BOC is proud to support the inspiring staff and volunteers at Child Cancer Foundation who provide vital, personalised support to hundreds of families throughout their cancer experience.  

“For more than 40 years, Child Cancer Foundation has supported families across New Zealand. With three children being diagnosed with cancer each week in New Zealand, BOC is committed to helping this important organisation continue and expand its work. 

“BOC and our staff are incredibly passionate about supporting the communities where we work and live, including families and children and look forward to working with the Child Cancer Foundation as we launch an exciting program of activities in 2020. 

Robyn Kiddle, Chief Executive Officer at Child Cancer Foundation said: “We are delighted to welcome BOC New Zealand on board as a business partner. Child Cancer Foundation doesn’t receive any government funding and we rely entirely on our supporters such as business partners and donors to support children with cancer and their loved ones.”

“BOC has a wonderful reputation of supporting charitable causes and we see this as the beginning of a long and meaningful relationship. We’d like to sincerely thank BOC New Zealand for their support and look forward to working with them in 2020.”
