Richardson & Wrench has again pledged their support to the Starlight Children’s Foundation, with a portion of their spring sales proceeds to be donated to the charity.
The group explained each agency and individual agents within each agency are able to set the amount they want to donate at the beginning of the period as part of a campaign which occurs every year.
The charity raises funds to bring “fun, joy and laughter” to seriously ill children and young people.
The program includes their wish granting program, visiting children as ‘Captain Starlight’, delivering necessities and entertainment to sick children, and creating social connections in what can be an isolating environment through their LiveWire program. They also offer health assistance to remote Indigenous communities.
Richardson & Wrench (R&W) has raised an accumulative total of $634,483 during their long-term partnership with Starlight.
R&W head of Brand and Network Strategy, Amanda Ward, explained the the company was proud to support the Starlight Childrenโs Foundation this spring, because happiness matters, now more than ever.
“We are very proud of our long term partnership with the Starlight Childrenโs Foundation,” Ms Ward said.
