$1,000 Donation to Trust In Kids

Albury City Mayor Henk van de Ven, Rotary Club of Albury Hume President Gordon Shaw and Radio 2AY General Manager Brendan O’Loughlin presentation to Luke of a $1,000 cheque at the office of our radio partners 2AY on Tuesday 10th May.

Part of Rotary Club of Albury Hume’s mission is to serve and support the local community. Every year they sell candles at Albury City Carols by Candlelight. The candles are purchased in partnership by Albury City and Radio 2AY. The Rotary Club of Albury Hume then work to identify where the funds raised will go within our local community. I was very pleased to hear that Rotary Club of Albury Hume had announced that $1,000 of the funds raised this year were being donated to our Trust in Kids fund.

We established this fund to support our children in achieving their dreams for the future. The fund is for children and young people up to 21 years who have limited opportunities because of family, social, financial or other individual circumstances. Some of these children are affected by issues relating to family violence, mental health and drug and alcohol use. The fund is available for educational, social, recreational, and cultural opportunities. Every penny is spent on the kids and donations are tax deductible.

This fund is about making a real difference to the lives of children less fortunate than others, and as such Rotary Club of Albury Hume, Albury City and Radio 2AY are pleased to support this important community initiative.
