Philanthropy News

The Philanthropy Team 2020 is up and running at full speed!  We have one of our biggest events for the year, the World’s Greatest Shave (WGS) on the 20th of March, where we will raise crucial funds for the Leukaemia Foundation.

 It’s hard to imagine that 41 Australians are diagnosed with a blood cancer every day and we have a number of MGC students choosing to shave their hair in order to raise as much money as possible to battle this cause. Our goal is to raise $10,000!!

The Philanthropy Team have created a team page, where you can donate to: mgc@worldsgreatestshave.com or you may prefer to sponsor an individual MGC student.

Either way, the money raised will assist families and patients and facilitate further ground breaking research. For example, $53 helps grow blood cancer cells necessary for vital research for cures and treatment.  $560 provides accommodation for a patient and their family to be close to the hospital and $33 enables blood cancer support teams to visit families to support them from the point of diagnosis and during treatment.

Please considering supporting Team MGC or a specific member of our team and come along on the 20th to cheer our brave students on!

Any questions or interested in becoming involved? We would love to see you at Philanthropy meetings.

We meet every Friday in Library B.  Bring a friend, bring your lunch and bring your ideas.

It’s a fun and great way to meet new people across different year levels.  We have a lot of charitable events and initiatives planned for this year and would greatly welcome new ideas and new members!

We hope to see you there!
