The Times is recognising the many wonderful people in our local east Auckland community who go out of their way to help others with our regular Community Hero Award.
If you know someone who’s doing amazing things in our community, please email 50 to 100 words describing why they deserve this recognition, highlighting specific actions they’ve taken to benefit our community, with your and their contact details and a high-resolution photo of them if possible to chrish@times.co.nz.
Be sure to include details about what they’ve been doing, the impact they’ve made, and how long they’ve been involved in these efforts.
The award is sponsored by New World Howick. Recipients will receive a $50 New World gift card and will be featured in our newspaper and on our website.
The latest recipient is David Pasco. He’s nominated by Bucklands Beach Association Football Club (BBAFC) president Rachel Penney, who writes: “David’s time on the BBAFC executive committee stems back to 2010, where he held the treasurer role for a decade.
“He had a small break in 2021 before being nominated for the vice president role heading into 2022, at which time he was recognised and awarded our prestigious Yellow Jacket, which is the highest accolade award at BBAFC.
“Only three recipients have come before him. It shows overall dedication, loyalty, love and honour to the club as a whole.
“David dedicates many hours to BBAFC and has done for countless years, helping drive the passion and vision for BBAFC towards a culture of belonging and ownership amongst the players, coaches and supporters.”
