LD Wholesale Tyres (the distributor of Hankook Tyres and joint major sponsor of the Melbourne Football Club) recently celebrated their 35th Anniversary in business and held a fantastic event at the Langham Hotel to celebrate. With over 200 people together in one room it was the perfect opportunity to hold a charity auction and raise some money for a great cause.

As joint major sponsor of the Melbourne Football Club the obvious choice for the charity to benefit from this was Reach, a foundation closely aligned with the club since it was established by Jim Stynes in 1994.

After some lively bidding, Hankook raised $2,600 for Reach by auctioning two scenic helicopter flights of Melbourne. It was a great result and one that Jim, who was at the event helping Hankook celebrate, was very happy with.

Lawrie De La Rue (Managing Director of LD Wholesale Tyres) said: “this was a great opportunity for us to support a very worthwhile cause and we could think of no better beneficiary than Reach”.

Hankook is joint major sponsor of the Melbourne Football Club and offers a 5% discount off Hankook tyres for Melbourne members. For your nearest participating retailer please phone 1800 189 737.
