CELEBRATING WORLD PLUMBING DAY

11 March, Every Year, Everywhere

As we all know, 2020 was an interesting year for events with COVID-19 causing a large number of postponements and cancellations for event calendars worldwide. For this reason, MPAQ was especially excited to once again be able to celebrate World Plumbing Day by hosting over 300 attendees for the plumbing and gas industry’s biggest breakfast.

Cancer Council Queensland

Special guests included the Honourable Mick de Brenni MP, Minister for Energy, Renewables and Hydrogen and Minister for Public Works and Procurement, and Gary O’Halloran, State Secretary of the Plumbing and Pipe Trades Employees Union Qld.

Each year, MPAQ members choose a charity they would like to support and raise funds for. With 30+ events in this calendar year, attendees across the state have the opportunity to participate and make donations towards the chosen charity.

MPAQ is proud to officially announce Cancer Council Queensland (CCQ) as the charity for 2021 and was lucky to have Rhys Reynolds, Public Relations Manager, present at the event. Rhys discussed a real-life case about baby Imogen and some of the major research projects the Australian Childhood Cancer Registry has been working on.

The MPAQ team sold raffle tickets throughout the breakfast for CCQ and with over $4,000 raised, we thank everyone for their contributions! A special thank you to Justin Cain and Rhys Reynolds who attended the event.
