Auto & General has held its annual Act for Kids Charity Golf Day to further assist Act for Kids’ mission to help prevent and treat child abuse and neglect throughout Australia.
The event, held at the Brisbane Gold Club, involved 92 players from different organisations and raised $145,000 for the worthwhile cause.
“This is our fifth year supporting the Act for Kids charity and we are delighted to have had 30 business partners participate, with Optus being a major sponsor of the event,” said Gerry O’Shaughnessy, Auto & General community manager.
“A donation of this size is enough to provide close to 1,000 hours of integrated therapy for children that have been abused or neglected,” said Neil Carrington, Act for Kids CEO. “This donation will go directly to our integrated therapy program and will ultimately support around 80 children for an entire year, sadly the children we see often have complex issues as a direct result of the trauma they’ve experienced and require long-term support to overcome these issues.”
As a proud gold sponsor for Act for Kids, Auto & General raises money and awareness through events such as the golf day, employee workplace giving, staff fundraising competitions, and company donations throughout the year.
