Bayleys Real Estate Lower South Island Group is excited to announce the launch of the Bayleys Boot Drive, in partnership with the Highlanders rugby team. This community initiative running across Otago and Southland aims to support young rugby players and their families across the lower South Island by providing them with much-needed rugby boots for the upcoming season.

Starting from the last week of March, families are encouraged to donate their used rugby boots by dropping them off at their local Bayleys office. These donations will help ensure that aspiring young athletes have the proper footwear to hit the field and enjoy the game they love. A Bayleys agent will then make sure they get to the local rugby club in time for the 2025 season starting in May.

"We are thrilled to partner with the Highlanders for this important initiative," said Stacy Coburn, Bayleys Queenstown CEO. "The Bayleys Boot Drive is a fantastic way for our community to come together and support the next generation of rugby players. We believe that every child should have the opportunity to play, without the burden of forking out a lot of money for sports gear, not to mention a great way to clean the garage out!"

Mike Kerr, Commercial Manager for the Highlanders, added, "We are thrilled that Bayleys have elected to address a real need in our community and help out more families in our region so their kids can play sport."

The Bayleys Boot Drive will run throughout the rugby season, with collection points available at all Bayleys offices in the region. For more information, please contact marketingteam@bayleys.co.nz.
