Ashfords raises more than $7500 for the
As a proud Major Sponsor of the South East Melbourne Phoenix NBL team, Ashfords wanted to get involved in their annual Starlight Round in a very real and tangible way to support the cause.
Ashfords put the call-out to our Partners, clients and suppliers, who all pitched in and generously donated items to be auctioned at a special online event, a first for the Starlight Foundation.
Our goal? To raise at least $6,500, which is the cost to grant one child’s wish.
Joining Ashfords and Starlight at the online auction event were South East Melbourne Phoenix’s CEO, Tommy Greer, as well as superstar players Cam Gliddon and Ryan Broekhoff, who are also the team’s Starlight Ambassadors. Cam and Ryan spoke on their teams’ connection to the Starlight Foundation and how their personal journeys and ideals resonate with what Starlight do for sick children on a daily basis.
The event culminated in a live auction, run by Sam Maley from Buxton Bentleigh. In the true spirit of camaraderie and uniting for a great cause, two of Ashfords’ clients joined forces and walked away with the main prize on a generous $3,000 bid.
This auction, alongside our dedicated fundraising page, yielded a massive $7,564 in donations!
Ashfords’ CEO Greg Cusack presented Starlight with the cheque at the Phoenix Starlight Round on 26 February.
Ashfords proudly donated a number of laptops and office equipment to the This Is IT Schools Initiative. The TIIS Initiative repurposes used laptops and provides them to students in schools who are experiencing financial distress.
"Schools report that between 10 and 15% of their students do not have their own laptops - even though they are a required learning
tool. With almost 40,000 secondary students in the region, this equates to between 4,000 and 6,000 students who do not have their own
laptop."
