DHL And childfund
2019 also saw DHL start their support of ChildFund in their vital work in helping to grow the game of rugby.
The ChildFund Pass It Back program is a world leader when it comes to using sport as a tool to drive social change, and in demonstrating the long-term impact that the program has on individuals and their communities.
DHL Express partners with ChildFund to bring their Rugby program to more children and youth across the South East Asia region, giving them the opportunity to learn valuable life skills.
DHL and Rugby
Rugby is in DHL’s DNA which is clearly shown through their longstanding partnership with The Rugby World Cup. This year they will also be backing the Women’s tournament in New Zealand to help show rugby is a game for all.
On top of this, DHL are also a lead sponsor for the World Rugby Seven’s Series as well as being key supporters of rugby from the grassroots level, right up to international teams, through sponsorships including DHL Stormers, Harlequins and Canada Rugby.
As an organization with a long history of supporting rugby, DHLExpress values the same attributes which rugby embodies, such as passion, respect, discipline, integrity and solidarity.
Elliott Santon, Head of Global Sponsorships at DHL Express, commented on the partnership: “We are proud to partner once again with Ron and Adam for their inspiring journey. DHL has a long standing association with rugby across the globe and are an official partner to both ChildFund Rugby and Rugby World Cup 2021. We are passionate about our partnership with ChildFund which leverages rugby as a platform to improve the lives of many thousands of children and wish Ron and Adam the very best and a safe journey ahead.”
