Giving Back Goes Pink in Australia & New Zealand
Observing Cancer Awareness month this June, the Payroll / Time & Attendance Team at Americold Prospect, NSW and the Dalgety team, New Zealand went all out, hosting three fabulous fundraisers as the teams' Giving Back initiatives!
The fundraising by the Payroll/Time & Attendance team in collaboration with the Prospect team was in support of the McGrath Cancer Care Nurses across Australia who provide free care and support to people experiencing cancer by delivering world-leading clinical, psychosocial and emotional support to people with any type of cancer throughout their treatment and also extending support to their families. A cause that is so close to the heart to many Americold team members, the team chose to fundraise to support this worthy cause.
“For our first initiative, we partnered with the Americold Prospect Operations team to plan, organise and host a Hotdog Day” described Robyn McKinlay, Senior Manager, Payroll & HR Operations APAC. “The team fired up the BBQ and served hotdogs to many of our Associates on a chilly day, which won them a donation and brownie points for a warm meal on a chilly day in the Freezers”.
As the second initiative, the team decked the office in pink posters, the lunchroom in glittery pink decorations, and laid the tables with pink tablecloths and decadent baked goodies sprinkled, drizzled and iced all in pink! It was truly pink-alicious!!! The team at the Americold Service Centre enjoyed an amazing morning tea spread, and the generosity flowed towards supporting this great cause.
“Thanks to a great team and great teamwork, the team not just achieved their fundraising target but surpassed it by 20%” shared Robyn McKinlay.
Simultaneously, the Dalgety team turned Americold Giving Back pink in June, with the New Zealand fund-raising in support of the Breast Cancer Foundation New Zealand. The team got dressed up all pretty in pink and had a fun day at the office raising awareness and funds in support of the research and people battling this disease, a cause that is near to the hearts of many.
Congratulations and well done on great Giving Back initiatives!
