RE/MAX Advantage holds its annual black tie charity gala on 2nd June, but this year the focus is on a little-known local charity.
They have called the event ‘Charity Begins @ Home – Our Home & Community’ in recognition.
“Normally we raise funds for Make-A-Wish® Australia,” said RE/MAX Advantage Principals Travis and Tandi Gill, “but this year we are aiming to raise money for a very little known charity in our local community.
“We’ve looked closer to home and have decided to raise funds for the ‘Branches Lifestyle Support’ (BLS) charity.
“Directors Wendy O’Brien and Shane Bruun, and the support workers at Branches Lifestyle Support, work tirelessly for special needs clients that fall through the cracks and that don’t fit into the criteria to move onto other government provided groups when they complete schooling.
“BLS has established houses in our community where clients can live independently, along with the support workers from BLS. They help them integrate into the community, including through local employment, giving their clients a higher level of purpose and confidence and within a safe community and environment.
“When we met with Wendy, we asked what was the most they had received in donations; and it was just $1,000.
“We plan to do much better and raise a lot of funds for this very worthwhile charity; and we left the meeting a little teary but feeling all the better for finding this fantastic charity to support,” Ms Gill said.
RE/MAX Advantage can announce that the inspirational Cam Calkoen, will fly in to compere the event. Mr Calkoen was born with cerebral palsy, went on to represent his country in athletics, and now spends his working life travelling the world as a motivational speaker with his message of overcoming adversity and diversity to be the best you can be in life… or simply put, to be awesome.
Driving the fundraising at the night’s charity auction is highly respected auctioneer, Sam Devlin.
