When Gabriel drew our attention to the wonderful ‘works of art’ produced by the children in his Conductive Education classes and suggested we use the paintings in some way to benefit the children, raise awareness of CPand some funds at the same time, we did not expect things would turn out on such a grand scale. But then when it comes to help and support, the ING Foundation (and Shannon Carruth in particular ) can be relied upon to rally and give their best. Your enthusiasm for the project was obvious from the start as your team of skilled volunteers took up the challenge.
Very special thanks to :-Events volunteers Rowena and Kylie : Finance volunteers Alice and You-won : Project Manager Rodney and Designer Tracey
It was a glorious day as you all descended on the North Sydney precinct. You flocked as one on the naïve public citizens and proceeded to start a roller-coaster of gold coin donations for us, the Boccia Athletes at The Spastic Centre. Each of you was primed in the intricate art of fundraising but I noticed you all had your own techniques!! Whatever you did, worked, and a grand total of over $4000 was collected, well surpassing last year’s figure proving that even the GFC could not stop you. An amazing achievement.
