Relay for Life 2012
19 April 2011
As advocates for Relay for Life and the tremendous work carried out by the Australian Cancer Council, WHK were so enthusiastic to beat out our 2010 Relay for Life fundraising total of $10,800, raised by our Warragul ‘Walkers Help Kancer’ team, they got cracking on fund raising initiatives right away!
The most successful fundraising project for the 2012 Relay for Life fundraising drive so far has come from WHK Eastern Vic’s CE, John Nantes. John put himself up for auction, with the WHK Eastern Vic office who raised the most money winning him as their PA For A Day.
Needless to say our Gippsland and outer Eastern suburban offices were abuzz with excitement, keen to subject our CE to remedial tasks as well as helping a very worthy cause!
Offices undertook many fundraising ventures, including bbqs, raffles, office bingo.. The list goes on. Perhaps the most dedicated ideas came from our Sale and Pakenham offices. Sale Principal Trevor Gordijn along with FP Adviser Peter Cook undertook a mammoth bike ride from Sale to Warragul, raising a staggering $1,400! Not to be outdone, Pakenham Principal Paul Pratt and Manager Greg Overdyk, ran from Pakenham to Warragul – over 50kms – and raised over $2,600!
The winners of the PA For A Day auction were of course Pakenham, contributing $2,600 of the total $10,860 raised as part of the auction. To date WHK has raised over $12,000 for the 2012 Baw Baw Relay for Life, quietly optimistic that we will signifantly exceed our goal of raising $21,000 for 2012!
