Citizens Who Care

Citizens Who Care (CWC)

CWC is a Bundaberg based business, registered in June 2006, to raise much needed funds to support local charities and the McGrath Foundation.

CWC believes that the McGrath Foundations ideas of placing breast care nurses throughout rural Australia to support those of us suffering from or recovering from breast cancer was a challenge worth supporting. It has been CWC motto, 'Helping those who help others' which has kept the group active in fund raising and other challenges to support breast cancer research and supporting the McGrath Foundation.

CWC is continuing to collect bras to achieve setting the new world record for the longest bra chain. As at 19 Feb 09, we have amassed over 100 000 bras in Bundaberg, this was capable due the support from people across Australia.

As a last request, IT WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED BY MY HELPERS IF YOU COULD HOOK YOUR BRAS TOGETHER IN A CHAIN, CLAMP ONE HOOK SHUT AND RECORD THE NUMBER ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE PARCEL BEFORE SENDING.

Anyone wishing to donate to the McGrath Foundation can do so on the Foundations web site. Anyone wishing to support the bra record attempt can donate at any Commonwealth Bank: BSB 064403 ACCOUNT 440310531199 which will also be donated to the Foundation. Any business wishing to become major sponsors of the record attempt will receive media publicity throughout the campaign. Sponsors who donate from a starting point of 10 cents a bra for 120 000 bras($12 000) or any other larger amounts will be classed as major sponsors. Receipts for such donations will be issued on being received by the foundation from CWC.

If you wish to contact CWC and offer your assistance, advice or make further enquiries about donations, please use the e-mail robbauer.cwc@bigpond.com or contact me on mobile number 0439 359 130. Cheques can be made payable to Citizens Who Care for the McGrath Foundation.

If you wish to be involved in this project, assist our cause and bring the record to this wonderful country, please start. To BEGIN, begin. Anyone can become a collector, everyone can bring awareness to breast cancer and we can all help each other through life.
