The Big Little Sponsorship is back for the fifth time, looking for two deserving primary schools across the nation to receive one of two $10,000 sports grants.

The festive holidays may be the season of giving, but at AA Insurance we take great joy in being here to support both you and your wider communities by giving back all-year-round.

As the lead partner of Variety’s Beds for Kids Programme, our Dream Beds initiative was designed to build awareness for the amazing work Variety does and raise money to provide beds and bedding for tamariki who need them most.

At AA Insurance we care about the things you care about, like helping young New Zealanders to thrive. That’s why we’re proud to announce our partnership with Variety – the Children’s Charity.

With the support of our partners, Eden Park and campaign ambassador, Keven Mealamu we called for nominations of deserving Primary Schools to win one of two $10,000 sports grants.

The Big Little Sponsorship is all about making a sports sponsorship come true for some of our future sports stars, the heroes-in-the-making that could be found at a deserving Auckland primary school.

The national Blue Light Kids’ Gone Fishin’ series for 2018 kicked off with an incredible turnout in Auckland over Anniversary Weekend. AA Insurance was there helping run the event and enjoying a fantastic day outside in the community.

Students from Ponsonby Primary School came up with such a creative way to combat bullying that they scooped the top prize in their age category at this year’s Blue Light video competition.

Maintaining NZ’s clean green image is a responsibility the whole community can get behind, and AAI recognised we could do our bit to help. So recently a group of staff volunteers rolled up their sleeves and teamed up with Sea Cleaners to spend a day cleaning up the Rangitoto Island coastline.

AA Insurance was there in Tauranga to help youth charity Blue Light New Zealand run their final Kids’ Gone Fishin’ event for the year at Tauranga Bridge Marina.

Eden Park, home of rugby, cricket…and now golf?. For the first time ever, for eight days in November, Eden Park was transformed into an incredible nine-hole golf course.

It’s fair to say that sport is a vital part of many Kiwi’s lives, whether you’re a kid, adult, professional or amateur. And one of the greatest things, is that it’s not always your sporting ability that counts, but your attitude.

When you only have seven kids to make a full soccer team, instead of 11, things can be a little tough. Add to that a shortage of volunteers and coaches, and the financial strain of a club that’s endured multiple break-ins and thefts, and it could all seem too bleak to go on.

Most kids tend to believe that money grows on trees, until they must start paying for things themselves. It can often be a hard lesson to learn, but last month 30 Pasifika students from three South Auckland schools had a crash course in one of the most important parts of finance: insurance.

Iconic stadium, Eden Park, and AA Insurance have announced their long-term partnership that brings together two national brands, as well as a host of premier national and international events.

The national Blue Light Kids’ Gone Fishin’ series kicked off with a record turnout in Auckland earlier this year. Thousands of fishers, little and big, lined the wharf at Wynyard Quarter during the city’s Anniversary weekend to try their luck.

Often described a Kiwi obsession, fishing gives children a chance to spend quality time with their family, be outdoors and away from gaming consoles. Yet, many children have never held a fishing rod, let alone experienced the thrill of hooking ‘the big one’.

Children from Whakatane Intermediate came up with such a creative way to combat bullying that they scooped the top prize in their age category at this year’s Blue Light video competition.

When AA Insurance heard about some primary schools around New Zealand struggling for reading resources, we wanted to help out by donating a selection of books.

Alastair Walker, a parent volunteer at Pukenui School in Te Kuiti, has been named this year's AA Insurance Good Sort of Sport for his commitment to the school's Rippa Rugby team, scoring them $10,000 for much needed uniforms and sports equipment.

Can you imagine cooking 5,000 sausages and buttering 250 loaves of bread over the weekend?

Blue Light Discos have been popular in New Zealand since 1983, and are still the treasured memories of many who’ve managed to bust a move on the dance floor.

AA Insurance has been out at club and school sports games, handing out warm drinks and talking to sideline supporters about the Good Sorts of Sport in their community.

The days where consumers are happy with a one way relationship with a business are long gone.

Is there a person in your school or local sports club who deserves to be recognised for their hard work?

It’s mid-winter in Auckland 2015, and three teenage boys are milling around someone else’s neighbourhood during the school holidays.

The annual Blue Light Kids Gone Fishin’ event is all about the simple things in life; hanging out with family, enjoying the sun as well as a morning’s fishing over the Waitemata Harbour at Wynyard Quarter. The Auckland event, held over the city’s anniversary weekend in late January, kick started a line of events throughout the country.
