Paralympics New Zealand (PNZ) is thrilled to announce Bupa New Zealand as an Official Partner for the next three years. 

The partnership further cements the relationship between PNZ and the aged care and retirement village provider after Bupa partnered with PNZ to support the NZ Paralympic Team for the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games. 

Bupa’s values of supporting inclusion and access for all, align perfectly with those of PNZ and will help shine a light on the power of Para sport to transform lives. 

PNZ CEO Greg Warnecke said: “We are delighted to welcome back Bupa as an Official Partner to Paralympics New Zealand and the NZ Paralympic Team. Bupa have already shown their commitment to supporting Para sport globally, and this will further solidify our partnership to grow the Paralympic Movement in Aotearoa New Zealand. 

“It is always important for Paralympics New Zealand to partner with organisations that share our vision, and we look forward to working together to create greater awareness of Para sport opportunities for people with a disability throughout Aotearoa New Zealand.” 

Bupa New Zealand Managing Director Pedro Sanchez said: “We’re incredibly proud to commit to a long-term partnership with Paralympics New Zealand. 

“Para athletes represent the very best of human spirit – people who have faced challenges and risen to perform at the highest level. Their stories inspire our people, our residents, and our communities. 

“We’re honoured to stand alongside Paralympics New Zealand as a strong local partner, helping champion equity, mental and physical wellbeing, and the power of sport to change lives,” he said.
