Westcon-Comstor New Zealand and Juniper Networks to raise money for children’s healthcare

Percentage of earnings from Juniper Mist sales to be donated to Starship Children’s Hospital

AUCKLAND, NEW ZEALAND – 9 June 2025 – Westcon-Comstor, a global technology provider and specialist distributor, today announced that it is partnering with Juniper Networks in a charity initiative for Starship Children’s Hospital, the national children’s hospital in New Zealand.

Under the ‘Sales that Transform Lives’ initiative, Westcon-Comstor will be donating 1% of every Mist sale* with the goal to provide world-class healthcare to children in need.

Westcon-Comstor New Zealand has been raising funds for Starship Children’s Hospital since 2022, through its partnership with the Starship Foundation, a non-profit organisation that supports the hospital. Throughout the years, Westcon-Comstor has raised more than $68,000 through various activations and campaigns, including fundraisers, baking competitions, fun runs, team building sessions, and more.  

"Partnering with Juniper Networks to support Starship Children’s Hospital reflects our deep commitment to doing business with purpose”, said Dave Rosenberg, Managing Director, Westcon-Comstor, New Zealand. “Contributing a portion of our sales is just one way we aim to give back, but more importantly, we hope it encourages others in our community to get behind this meaningful cause and help make a real impact for Kiwi kids.”

“At Juniper Networks, we believe technology has the power to do more than build networks – it’s about connecting people, empowering communities and creating meaningful impact. We're proud to partner with Westcon-Comstor in support of Starship Children’s Hospital, with proceeds from our sales directly contributing to the wellbeing of children across New Zealand. Together, we’re making every connection count while turning innovation into purposeful action and helping those who need it most,” said Ken Lord, Country Manager, New Zealand, Juniper Networks.

This local effort aligns with Westcon-Comstor’s global Responsible Business strategy which highlights a responsibility to three pillars; people, planet, and communities, which act as a guide for business decisions to come hand-in-hand with making positive changes to the world. The funds raised go towards lifesaving equipment, critical care services, medical research and family support initiatives.  

“Over the last year there has been an increase in children coming to Starship by 13%. With a huge demand on services, the work of the Starship Foundation has never been more urgent, more critical, or more relevant than right now and our children need your support more than ever. Every dollar donated helps improve the lives of seriously sick and injured children, so thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your ongoing support,” Jo Simon, Starship Foundation CEO.
