Give Me Five for Kids
Give Me 5 for Kids is Southern Cross Austereo’s national fundraiser which has been supporting and raising funds for local children’s hospital wards across regional Australia for the last 25 years. Beginning in the mid-’90s as a simple coin drive from the Central Coast region, this annual charity drive has since raised $25.9 million nationally, and benefited over 40 children’s hospital wards.
The Kangaroos are supporting the Give Me 5 for Kids campaign as part of the club’s 150 Year Tassie Tour, culminating in a massive fundraising effort for Round 23 on Saturday afternoon. Give Me 5 for Kids volunteers will have their fundraising buckets at the entry gates to Blundstone Arena and will be roaming the arena raising funds for this great cause.
Dave Noonan and Al Plath will be broadcasting live from Blundstone Arena from 12pm – 1:30 at the Triple M marquee, David Boon Stand concourse.
