With the generosity of everyone in the room, $150,000 was raised to provide a nourishing breakfast every school day for Tasmanian kids at risk of falling through the gaps. “Funds raised from the Variety of Chefs gala will support the expansion of the Variety Breakfast Club and ensure more children across Tasmania have access to breakfast at school every day,” Variety Tasmania CEO Mohammad Aldergham said. Every $100 raised on the night will feed a Tasmanian child breakfast for a year of school through the Variety School Breakfast Club. Over the last three years the Variety School Breakfast Club has helped to fuel the academic endeavours of kids in 25 schools across Tasmania, with many more on the waiting list.
Simply put, we help kids be kids.
