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 $4 million dollars, comprising of direct and indirect sources of revenue, including corporate and staff donations, state fundraising, sponsorships and supporting CCI events. The reporting period for the CCI partnership is the 2020 calendar year and the team at Brickworks raised $196,028, helping CCI move closer to achieving the vision of curing all children with cancer. Brickworks staff offer their time and efforts to drive a range of fundraising activities for CCI, including the Diamond Ball and Build for a Cure initiative. Fundraising efforts were significantly impacted, with most events cancelled due to COVID-19 restrictions. The Brickworks Charity Committee implemented the 2021 CCI Engagement Plan to enable suitable fundraising activities to occur during the COVID-19 pandemic.
