Citizens Who Care (CWC)
CWC is a Bundaberg, Queensland based business, registered in June 2006, to
raise much needed funds to support local and national charities.
In August 2009 CWC set a new Guinness World Record for the longest bra chain in the
world to raise funds to support the McGrath Foundation Breast Care Nurse
campaign. Thanks to this effort, Bundaberg was provided the first breast
care nurse in Queensland by the McGrath Foundation.
For information, CWC
collected and hooked 166 625 bras, collected from across the country, to
measure a staggering 163.77km beating the old record by 52km.
From June this year, 2011, CWC has taken up the challenge to raise up to
$200k in support of the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia. On Sunday
23 October 2011, CWC is attempting another Guinness World Record at mattress
dominoes as a major fund raising event. This day will be held at the
Bundaberg Touch Fields, University Drive, Bundaberg, commencing at 6:00am
for initial unloading and from 9:00am to commence stand up and drop.
Because
of the amount of mattresses needed to set the new record, CWC is looking for
800 volunteers to assist holding mattresses is also asking for people who
wish to be involved to bring along a single mattress to join the queue. Of
course the 800 volunteers are our first priority.
If you wish to contact CWC and offer assistance in this fundraising year,
make a donation to the Prostate Cancer Foundation or enquire about making
donations, please use the e-mail robbauer.cwc@bigpond.com or contact Rob on
0439 359 130.
Official Foundation receipts will be issued by Rob.
From information supplied by the Foundation: More men die each year from
Prostate Cancer than women die from breast cancer.
