Charity Disaster relief appeal

Via IP supports several charities. Each month we highlight one charity to help them achieve their goals. We not only donate to charities to whom we provide managed WAN and secure gateway services such as The Salvation Army, House With No Steps, St Vinnies and Guide dogs, but also other charities that we feel are in need of our support from time to time such as the Queensland Drought Relief Fund.

For every subsciption to 'The Ping', our bi monthly newsletter, we make sure we transfer money to one of the charities we support. The more subscribers the more money will go to charity. We already started donating money to charity just because of the first newsletter we recently send out .


 

Charity of the month

 

This month Via IP choose to support The Premier’s Disaster Relief Appeal. This Trust Fund is established to assist those who have suffered a loss due to natural disasters of the last month in Queensland and Victoria. All money raised by the fund will be directed to address the greatest need. The Premier’s Disaster Relief Appeal Fund is audited by the Queensland Auditor-General.

Via IP worked extremely hard to keep up the network for our clients in Queensland. Apart from a few sites we managed to deliver our services across Queensland and Victoria.

We have trust in this fund as the Premier has announced the establishment of a Distribution Committee, a committee including representatives from the Australian Red Cross, to manage the disbursement of the donated funds.

A series of events will be held in flood affected communities across the state during Queensland Week, 4-13 June, and communities will be invited to nominate their own heroes.


Previously supported Charities

 

Movember

Each year Movember is responsible for the sprouting of moustaches on thousands of men’s faces in Australia and around the world, with the sole aim of raising vital funds and awareness for men’s health, specifically prostate cancer and depression in men. 


Men sporting Movember moustaches, known as Mo Bros, become walking, talking billboards for the 30 days of November and through their actions and words raise awareness by prompting private and public conversation around the often ignored issue of men’s health. 

At Via IP we proudly support this great cause. Most of the guys in the office are growing their mo's to the fullest as we speak!

Check our Facebook page and news page for pictures and updates.

 

Ready, set, MO!

 

St Vincent de Paul Society

Every year Via IP faces the cold Sydney night during the CEO Sleepout. St Vinnie’s organizes this event to challenge business and community leaders to experience homelessness first- hand for one night, raise important money, and with fresh insight go on to effect change in social opinions on this serious issue. 

- Every day 12.000 Australian children under the age of 12 have no home.
- Homeless services have to turn away more people than they can accommodate

You can help thousands of homeless men, women and children by supporting us financially and by creating awareness for this issue.

Thursday the 17th of June Heath Donald slept outdoors in cold and harsh conditions to raise important money.


Thank you for your support.
