Vodafone Foundation fuels champion change

There are some relationships that transcend the typical corporate responsibility programmes, and become almost like family.

For Billy Graham, former New Zealand and Australasian light welterweight boxing champion, the partnership with the Vodafone New Zealand Foundation is very much like that.

Inspired by his own experiences growing up in Naenae as a troubled youth, Billy founded the Naenae Boxing Academy with the strong desire to make a difference in the lives of young people.

The Vodafone Foundation was proud to be the first organisation to support Billy with a salary and expenses, and the partnership continues to this day.
