Fujitsu General and the South Sydney Rabbitohs joined forces last week for a fun day, to raise money for The Sporting Chance Cancer Foundation, a not-for-profit organisation who help children in palliative care.
Fujitsu General’s, General Manager–Sales and Marketing, Dave Smith, emphasised how important the partnership they have with the South Sydney Rabbitoahs is to give back to the community and The Sporting Chance Cancer Foundation.
“The South Sydney Rabbitohs are one of the most popular NRL teams. The partnership Fujitsu General has with the Rabbitohs has enabled the organisation to foster stronger connections with the sporting community. Fujitsu General staff and customers have enjoyed meeting the team throughout the year and the fun day was a great way to wrap up the footy season.”
For a gold coin donation, Fujitsu General staff participated in a series of challenges led by Rabbitohs’ players–including pass, kick and catch the ball–as well as a best dressed competition, raffle tickets and a barbeque for all to enjoy.
The Sporting Chance Cancer Foundation has programs allowing palliative care children to spend as much time at home as possible, by providing remote access to specialised nurse care and resources such as mobile home care units.
For each Fujitsu air conditioner sold, a donation is made to the Foundation. Through these contributions and various ongoing fundraising drives, Fujitsu General has to date donated more than $6 million.
The fun day was held at Fujitsu General’s head office in Eastern Creek, NSW and ended with the Rabbitohs enjoying a behind the scenes tour.
