Navigate's Community Involvement
At Navigate, one of our key business values is corporate and social responsibility. We have a continuing commitment to contributing to our local community, to support those less fortunate, and to society at large.
We continue to be one of the major sponsors for the Queenscliff Suf Life Saving Club, which has been providing surf life saving activities since 1924. We sponsor annual golf day held by the club which endeavours to raise in excess of $20,000. We are very proud that the club has received a new lifesaving boat worth close to $12,000 which was proudly donated by Navigate.
Another very worthy cause that we support is the Bear Affair. Bear Cottage is the sole children's hospcie in NSW, providing both respite and palliative care to children with lfie limiting illnesses and their families. Their major annual fundraiser for Bear Cottage was heald on 5th Sept 2009 and raised an amazing $190,000. Our support means that Bear Cottage can continue to offer the best possible care to the kids and families who rely so heavily ont his valuable place of respite and care.
We also sponsored the Might & Power Gala Race Day, raising much needed funds for The Spastic Centre, in particular essential rural services. The event was also an outstanding success and raised excess of $250,000.
Finally, we have continued our involvement and support of Dialysis Escape Line Australia (DELA) helping over 10,000 Australians every year whoa re on dialysis whilst waiting for a kidney donation. With our help DELA have been able to continue to set up temporary dialysis units in remote locations where there is no dialysis available offering respite to dialysis patients and their families.
Our goal is to continue to support needy causes and give back to our community throughout 2010. We will update you with chosen charities and organisations and their progress in our future newsletters.
