Corporate Sponsorship

The Chris Cairns Foundation is proudly supported by a number of key sponsors. Without the support of these sponsors, The Foundation would not be recognized as a voice for rail safety in New Zealand.

The Chris Cairns Foundation is proud to be associated with the following sponsors and looks forward to continuing these relationships for many years to come.

Toll - “Toll recognised the value of Chris’s dream right at the outset and we are very proud to have been a significant part of the formation of the Chris Cairns Foundation and all that it has achieved”

-- David Jackson - CEO

Shell - “Shell fundamentally believes that all accidents are preventable, so we put a lot of emphasis on educating people and changing the way we think about safety. We are delighted to join forces with the Chris Cairns foundation and put our support behind such an important safety issue”

-- Rob Jager - Chairman

OnTrack - “The Chris Cairns Foundation has done a tremendous job in helping ONTRACK get the message about safety on railway crossings out to the public. New Zealanders admire Chris and they understand that what he and his family went through at Rolleston should not happen to others. This has given tremendous impetus to the rail safety cause.”
