Ampol Foodary is raising funds for its charity partners Sebastian Foundation, The Smith Family, and Surf Life Saving Australia this November.
Funds raised from the program go directly towards training, education and equipment for Surf Life Saving Australia, to The Smith Family’s ‘Learning for Life’ program, and Sebastian Foundation’s ‘Open Parachute’ mental health initiative.
Meaghan Davies, Executive General Manager of People and Culture Ampol, recently joined Guy Sebastian at Caringbah’s Our Lady of Fatima Primary School for a Sebastian Foundation ‘Open Parachute’ lesson.
“The Sebastian Foundation is one of three charity partners that we’ll fundraise for during the month of November through the Ampol Foodary Network. Ampol is committed to driving positive change in the communities in which we operate, and our ongoing support is a testament to this.
“As Australia’s leading transport fuels provider, a focus on safety both for our employees and our customers is really important. In addition, we believe that the focus on youth education, and our investment in that area will have a lasting impact in the communities in which we operate.”
With support for suppliers, 10 cents from every purchase of Mount Franklin water (600ml), Mars Choc Bags (120-180g range), Maximus sports drink (1L range) and Magnum ice creams (85-107ml range), and $1 from every Aerial Sunglasses purchased at participating Ampol Foodary stores will also be donated as part of the campaign.
After raising $430,000 in its July campaign, Foodary stores will be allocated one of the three charity partners to ensure a broad base of contributions across the communities in which Ampol operates.
Sebastian expressed his gratitude to Ampol for their support of the Sebastian Foundation and the work they do in the youth mental health space.
“This November, you can head into your local Ampol Foodary and donate or purchase select products. Every dollar raised helps us deliver Open Parachute, our youth mental health program, into as many schools as possible.”
