Pre-season training is under way for the corporate rugby challenge to raise funds for a new Plunket Centre in Onekawa.
Speights Ale House, Kepka Builders, Unison, Enza Foods, and Hawke's Bay Today are confirmed entrants.
Team Kepka Builders are pitched against Team Speights Ale House and companies are invited to sign on
to the team of their choice and choose their own rugby position.
Hawke's Bay Today will report on fund-raising activities during June and all entrants will be in to win spot prizes and attend after-match and prize-giving functions.
The business "player" who raises the most wins an Amazing Race corporate package for 20 people from the Kiwi Adventure Trust.
Like the TV show, the winning group will be put into teams, and race to complete challenges, earn rewards and score points. The new Plunket centre would be a "one-stop shop" regional hub in Onekawa so families can easily access all Plunket services.
Facilities included a parents' centre, nurses' clinic, playroom, parenting education classes, family-friendly cafe, toy library and car-seat rental service.
