Our biggest Foundation Day ever

Foundation Day is our major annual fundraiser whereby each of our thirteen offices, donates the professional fee from one of their auctions to a chosen local charity.

It was held on the 30th of May and what a resounding success. Our auctioneers achieved some outstanding results and we raised $218,500, a 20% increase on last year.

We’ve received fantastic feedback from our charities who have been overwhelmed with the outcome.

Pascoe Vale North Primary School were expecting $1,500 to purchase a defibrillator and were very excited to hear they would be receiving $10,500.

The Principal at Glenroy Specialist School advised they were having so much fun trying to choose what equipment to purchase for their students with their donation.

We are immensely proud that we have been able to generate funds through Foundation Day which have a genuine impact on our local communities.

Foundation Day funds will be distributed to the following selected charities:

Glenroy Specialist School
Melbourne City Mission – palliative care
Reach Foundation
Robinson Reserve Neighbourhood House
Room to Create
Essendon SES
Berry Street
Australian Prostate Cancer Research
Cancer Council – Victoria
Guide Dogs – Victoria
Villa Maria – Austin Street facility
Pascoe Vale North Primary School
Darebin Information Volunteer and Resource Service
