For only a gold coin, fans can watch Hawke's Bay's premier basketball team next season.
Yesterday, Hawks Basketball franchise chairman Keith Price and Taylor Corporation announced Taylor's sponsorship of the Hawks for next season.
The corporation will be sponsoring entry, meaning the public have to pay only a gold
coin donation to attend home games.
When they had tried the same donation last year, Kelvin Taylor, managing director of the Hastings apple growers and suppliers, said it had been great to see young children able to attend.
"It doesn't benefit us as an exporter, but being part of the community, and helping kids go is really good. At Taylor corp, we encourage things like that to happen," he said.
"They get a lot of enjoyment, and even if your team is losing ... everyone's happy."
