Message from the CEO

Thank you to all our students, staff, trainers and local communities who helped to make our Biggest Morning Tea a resounding success. A special thank you goes to the Student Representative Councils across all three campuses, who put in great effort and led the way to make the day a big success. It was really great to see everyone working together to support this important cause. In total we raised $5825.95, which included $327.05 at the Wollongong campus, $2,819.70 at the Liverpool campus and $2,679.20 at Parramatta. Keeping with our tradition, ACBC is making a matching donation, so we will contribute $11,651.90 in total.

Every year, our participation in the event is a great learning experience about getting involved and giving back to our communities. Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea is a chance for people to get together and raise money for a great cause. One in two Australians are diagnosed with cancer by age 85 — but each dollar we raised will contribute to funding Cancer Council’s vital research, prevention and support service programs. We are proud of our staff and students for embracing this opportunity and showing their community spirit. We also look forward to participating in Jeans for Genes Day later in the year.

This year’s goal is to raise $13.8 million across Australia, and I am proud that we played a part in pursuing this aim.
