$2M Milestone Reached Print

01 March 2012

Thanks to all our wonderful supporters we have reached $2m dollars in donations!! It is a significant milestone in our young life and worth stopping for a moment and savouring such an achievement.

We thank all of those individuals and companies that have attended our walks, dinners and other events, donated services and products, provided donations from products sold, shoppers who have purchased these products and our dedicated team of volunteers who without fuss or fanfare give up their time and effort to administer all aspects of the Foundation – from website management to accounts and administration to donning an apron and cooking for the masses at our walks! Thank you all!!
