Community Involvement & Sponsorship
MAX is extremely dedicated to supporting the communities in which we work and live.
Over the past 20 years, MAX has continued to support local and regional sporting clubs and organisations across the three Upper Spencer Gulf cities and surrounding country regions.
Children enjoy the view from a MAX crane at ‘Cranes for a Cause’.
In 2019 we raised over $20,000 for a children’s charity called Backpacks 4 SA Kids which provides resources that contribute to the care, safety and wellbeing of children and young people during periods of dislocation from home and routine care.
The business has been the major sponsor for the Caltowie Chilled Out & Fired Up Music Festival. The event’s main goal is to raise funds to promote and increase awareness of mental health and well-being in the local farming region.
