Show TV has donated $9500 worth of the popular American-made My Pillow bed pillows to four local charities.
Homes of Hope Charitable Trust Tauranga, Tauranga Moana Night Shelter, Tauranga Women's Refuge and Bay of Plenty Drag Racing Association were presented 20 of the pillows each at a morning tea at Show TV BOP's offices in Aviation Avenue, Mount Maunganui yesterday.
Show TV BOP is the national distributor of My Pillow in New Zealand and Australia.
Show TV operations manger Gill Doms said Show TV was delighted to make the donations to the four charities, and the first three charities were obvious choices because their clients used and needed quality pillows.
Ms Doms said the BOP Drag Racing Association was selected because a Show TV director learned the Association's plans to build an off-road drag racing strip. My Pillow products have been donated to dozens of worthy charities in the United States, and we wanted to also follow in their footsteps, she said.
