Tangerine (and its Mascot Peely) Unites with the Melbourne  Pancare Community.

On the 13th of November, Tangerine joined the Pancare community at their #UniteforHope event in Melbourne to raise awareness for pancreatic cancer. We also raised a few eyebrows with our brand new mascot "Peely" who decided to jump on stage and help get the #uniteforhope walkers and runners warmed up!

Tangerine's Peely helps Unite for Hope participants warm up

The atmosphere on event day was nothing short of optimistic, despite the fact that many have had to fight against upper GI cancers(s) or support a loved one going through it. Inspirational stories were shared, hugs given and received, and hope raised one footstep at a time.

Walkers and runners were greeted by the Tangerine crew with a calico bag stuffed with goodies including lollipops and stress balls. Kids enjoyed getting their photo taken with Peely, and some even got their face painted Tangerine!

Being a sponsor of an event is the easy part, but here at Tangerine we are doing more than splashing our brand on a few signs and emails. Together with the formidable brains at Pancare, we have created a mutually beneficial 'deal' that enables donations to keep flowing back to the Pancare Foundation and also helps the Pancare community connect with one of the Foundations specialist upper GI cancer nurses. The mechanics of this 'deal' is whenever a Pancare community member signs up for a new Tangerine award-winning nbn® plan or mobile SIM-only plan we donate $125 (for an nbn® connection and $50 for a mobile SIM-only plan).

Pancare's Head of Commercial, James Stewart said "when your national event partner's CEO along with his family come to join you on the day to fully embrace what were trying to achieve together - it's a special day." He also posed this tongue-in-cheek statement-question out to his 2.5k+ followers on Linkedin:

"You can help Pancare Foundation generate much-needed donations through money you're already spending with your current telco provider. So the question becomes: Do you love Pancare Foundation more than your current telco/nbn® provider! ! ? ?

We hope the Pancare community answer is a resounding YES and we look forward to welcoming them with wide open sweet Tangerine arms soon.
