Kids Plus relies on the generosity of individuals, businesses and trusts and foundations to provide its vital service to special needs children.  Our support comes in the form of dollars, goods, services, professional expertise, volunteer time and awareness raising initiatives.  Quite simply, we wouldn’t be here without this help.

Our Corporate Partners

Routley's

When Kids Plus formed a partnership with Routley's in 2010, we had no idea what a big impact it would have.  Together we developed Geelong's first Hot Cross Bun week which takes place every year in the week leading to Easter. Workplaces host a Hot Cross Bun morning or afternoon tea with $1 from every bun sale going to Kids Plus. The buns are delivered to schools, businesses and service clubs fresh in the morning.  In addition, Routley's engages it's own bakeries across Victoria and over 300 wholesale customers in the event, with 10cents from every HCB coming to Kids Plus.  Our first Hot Cross Bun Week raised over $5000 and it just keeps getting bigger each year.  Kids Plus hosts a number of other events each year e.g Thomas Fun Run, Golf Classic, Bunning BBQ's and Routley does not hesitate to donate all the bread we need, saving Kids Plus literally hundreds of dollars which means more therapy places for our children.

Lake Imaging

Lake Imaging is a very special business with some extraordinary people on staff like Emma Forssman and Stuart Monger who work tirelessly for Kids Plus throughout the year by volunteering time, hosting fundraising events, promoting our events through external signage at their outlets and placing collection tins on their service counters. The Lake Imaging team help us in so many ways; raising our profile in the Lake Imaging centres, hosting fundraisers and raffles on our behalf, donating corporate event prizes e.g. Gold Coast vs Cats Corporate package QLD.  They have donated well in excess of $10,000 to Kids Plus and we are extremely grateful to Craig Lightfoot and the team for their commitment.

 

Rotary  Highton Kardinia

Our partnership with Rotary Club Highton Kardinia and its amazing members, centers on the annual Fun Run with Thomas at Drysdale Railway each year in March.  Hundreds of families spend a day enjoying healthy, fun activities including fun runs against Thomas the Tank Engine, rides, community displays, entertainment and delicious food.  The members of the Fun Run committee give thousands of volunteer hours each year to make the event happen and in 2010 over $16,000 was raised for Kids Plus.  Then again in 2011 they raised $24,000 for Kids Plus through Fun Run with Thomas.  The awareness this event has raised about Kids Plus is the stuff money can't buy. The event is supported by a number of very generous local businesses including GJ Gardner Homes and Hocking Stuart.
