“Don’t play Renovation Roulette!” That’s the message the Asbestos Diseases Research Institute and the Asbestos Education Committee is sending to all Australians during national Asbestos Awareness Week, a campaign created to be the first line of defence against the ‘third wave’ of asbestos related diseases caused by inhaling asbestos fibres while renovating or maintaining homes.
Current double award winners in the 2010 NSW Public Relations Institute of Australia Awards for Excellence for their remarkable work on the ‘11th Hour Campaign’ for Ovarian Cancer Australia (Health) and ‘A Gift Like Nun Other’ (Low Cost/Pro-Bono) for the Timorese ALMA Nuns, Insight Communications was recognised last night in the industry’s annual national Golden Target Award gala event held in Darwin.
There is a great deal of evidence to support the idea that fundraising is all about communication. But communicating is so much more than asking for money and support; it’s about managing communication efficiently and effectively and in such a way that builds confidence in your organisation so you can develop new and long-term relationships that offer a win-win for all parties – relationships that keep donors giving.
Today, founders of CALL TO GREATNESS (C2G) announced the roll out of the next stage of the national awareness and fundraising campaign with the C2G Travelling Anthem and CALL TO GREATNESS DAY to be held on Friday 23 April 2010.
Although details of the C2G Travelling Anthem which will be performed by some of Australia’s biggest names in sport and entertainment are yet to be announced, organisers are tipping the C2G tour will be well received by Australia’s youth who are keen to smash existing stereotypes by supporting C2G.
With young Australians around the country driving the C2G campaign aimed at helping many of Australia’s disadvantaged and marginalized youth, many have called for a special day that will enable them to highlight the needs of young people in our community, and to raise vital funds to help.
