Leading professional services firm, Boyce Chartered Accountants will once again field a team in the annual City2Surf challenge to raise money for the Burns Support Foundation.
Since 2008, the regional-based accounting firm has raised more than $140,000 for charity through its involvement in City2Surf - a 14km fun run from Sydney CBD to the iconic Bondi Beach.
The Boyce Cooma team will be hosting two fundraising events this year and we urge our local community to get involved.
Our first fundraiser will take place on Thursday 16 July at 7pm with a screening of Magic Mike XXL at the Cooma Twin Cinema. Tickets are $25 (available at Boyce reception and at the cinema on the night) which includes our private screening, drinks and nibbles. So why not organise a group of your girlfriends to come along for what is sure to be an entertaining night.
Our second fundraising event is a monster garage sale being held in the Boyce undercover carpark on Saturday 25 July. There will be a BBQ and cake stall along with furniture, household items, clothing, luggage, gym equipment, baby items, cookbooks, ski gear and much much more.
All monies raised by Boyce will be directed to the Burns Support Foundation, a not-for-profit organisation that provides assistance and support to burns survivors and their families. All of the work they do is carried out by volunteers and without any government support.
“We have a special motivation to raise as much money as we can to help the Burns Support Foundation continue their fantastic work,” said Stacey Hinton, Boyce’s marketing coordinator.
“Julie Schofield, a director at Boyce and Sun-Herald City2Surf team captain, suffered a burns injury as a child.”
Julie knows well that once a burns survivor, you are a burns survivor for life. But with the help of the Burns Support Foundation as a child, she has been able to cope with the many years of hospital visits and surgeries to emerge with a positive attitude to life and a rewarding career.
Julie credits her positive outlook to the mentoring and support offered by the Burns Support Foundation through their annual camps for burns survivors and their families.
For further information on either of our events or if you have any unwanted household items you would like to donate to our monster garage sale contact Stacey on 6452 3344
