August Flies the Flag for Fitzgerald Foundation

jul. 21 2009

We're pleased to announce that the recent RUN Melbourne event raised a whopping $6,900 for the Fitzgerald Foundation; a cause close to our hearts here at August. This means we're edging closer to our target of $55,000, which will enable the Fitzgerald Foundation to establish a dedicated phone line to support young people and their families affected by brain cancer.

The not-for-profit Fitzgerald Foundation was established in memory of Ben Fitzgerald, and acknowledges the significant incidence of brain cancer amongst young people, and the considerable lack of funding and awareness of this illness. August supports this very important cause; providing a range of web and email marketing services. Our founders Zoë Warne and Daniel Banik are also Foundation committee members.

Recently, Zoë interviewed Fitzgerald Foundation founder, Gabby Fitzgerald on 774 ABC Melbourne. To listen to the podcast, click here.
