CHRIS SYMONS Chair
from the chair
This year has seen the foundation receive a large increase in the number of requests coming through. Because of the fantastic support we continue to get from our members, we have been able to donate $16,000 so far in 2017. This has included donations to 19 individual children as well as two group projects. If you have not visited our Facebook page www.facebook.com/thatfoundation please do so and share with as many people as possible. THAT Golf Day
This year’s golf day was another huge success made possible by our all the businesses that entered teams and the participants who supported the event, raffle and auction. Particular mention goes to PFD for supplying the amazing food, Boags, Coca-Cola, TWE, Hostplus, RAMS and the THA staff and board members who worked on the day.
Donations Below are some of the donations we have made during August and September.
