Community Bank Boorowa Secures Headline Sponsorship for Boorowa Irish Woolfest Through 2026 – Reinforcing Commitment to Hilltops Community
The Boorowa Irish Woolfest Committee is excited to announce that Community Bank Boorowa will be the headline sponsor for the Boorowa Irish Woolfest for the next three years: 2024, 2025, and 2026. This multiyear sponsorship promise highlights the Community Bank Boorowa’s commitment to Boorowa and the wider Hilltops region.
Belinda Reid, Chair of Boorowa Community Financial Services Limited, operators of Community Bank Boorowa, shared her enthusiasm for this year’s celebrations “Every October long weekend, the Boorowa community joins together as people come from far and wide to enjoy the fun, festivities and attractions at Boorowa Irish Woolfest. With our involvement stretching back 20 years, Community Bank Boorowa is delighted to again be major sponsor of Woolfest ’24, an important date in the town calendar and a very welcome boost to our local economy.”
“Community banking is based on a ‘profit-with-purpose’ model, which means our profits are returned directly to the community that has generated them, so our customers should give themselves a pat on the back for helping to make Woolfest happen again this year.
“You may not think who you bank with matters, but it does. For our customers, their banking is making a real difference and since 1998, more than $320 million has been returned to local communities across Australia by Community Banks to fund significant events like this and more.
“We are further pleased to announce that Community Bank Boorowa has agreed to continue as major sponsor for Boorowa Irish Woolfest through 2025 and 2026 and we are very much looking forward to catching up with customers, visitors and friends in October,” Ms Reid concluded.
Hilltops Council and the Boorowa Irish Woolfest Committee, looks forward to celebrating the 2024 Boorowa Irish Woolfest, scheduled for Sunday 6 October 2024. To keep up to date with all things Woolfest, please visit https://irishwoolfest.com.au/ or www.facebook.com/IrishWoolfest .
