Do you know a charity or two doing some good in your local community?

Could they really use a new Corolla?

To say thank you to New Zealanders for making Toyota the country's best-selling car company for the past 25 years, they are giving 25 deserving Kiwi charities a new 2013 Toyota Corolla each - to use for three years!

Communities throughout New Zealand have embraced Toyota and the charities in those communities are the ones doing valiant work, often with minimal resources. Toyota, and Bowater Toyota as well, want to lend them a helping hand and say thanks to all of New Zealand. That is why we are using our website to tell as many local charities as we can about this great opportunity. And hopefully encouraging as many of you as possible to get in and vote. It is free and easy, and will only take a moment, but could make the world of difference!

Bowater Toyota are really proud to be associated for yet another year in one of the countries most important sporting events in the calendar, the Weetbix Tryathlon.

Every year, as summer winds down, the Nelson leg of this epic right of passage swings into town, and thousands of local kids get to realise a dream, and learn for themselves that not only does hard work pay off, but also that giving it a crack is one of life's most important lessons.

The turnout at the 2012 20th Annual Weetbix Tryathlon held at Tahuna Playing Field was another solid success, with a great turnout and lots of very happy kids!

For 20 years now this great community event has been changing lives, and inspiring generations of kids to be a part of the energy of youth. To channel that excited and give it a go. Everyone on the day gets a gold medal, but most importantly everyone on the day gets amazing amounts of encouragement to just do their best. This is not a race, there are no winners, just a field of very happy faces.
