SUPPORT Brickworks is a long-standing partner with the Children’s Cancer Institute (CCI), the only independent medical research institute in Australia dedicated to research into the causes, cure and prevention of childhood cancer.
CHILDRENS CANCER INSTITUTE Brickworks became partner of CCI in 2002 with the first pledge made towards the CCI Capital Appeal of $70,000. To date, Brickworks’ total partner value exceeds $3.5 million dollars. Our total partner value comprises of direct and indirect sources of revenue, including corporate and staff donations, state fundraising, sponsorships and supporting CCI events. The reporting period for our CCI partnership is the 2018 calendar year and it was another successful year of partnership. Together, the team at Brickworks raised over $683,000, helping CCI move closer to achieving the vision of curing all children with cancer.
Our Brickworks staff have offered their time and efforts to drive a range of fundraising activities for CCI, including the Diamond Ball and Build for a Cure initiative. This fundraising supports real impacts through programs such as CCI’s Zero Childhood Cancer. Brickworks is continuing their support of the CCI in FY20 with many more fundraising and support events planned for the coming year. The contributions from both Brickworks and its staff has provided the opportunity for several pieces of vital equipment to be purchased by CCI Australia. The contributions will help CCI continue their life saving work that impacts thousands of families around Australia.
