Western Sydney Corporate Charity Lunch 2025 – Sponsorship Information & Form
CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE
Life’s most persistent question is... “What are you doing for others?” (MARTIN LUTHER KING)
Helping people in need is one of the most important values and acts that one can undertake. Our Charity Lunch in Western Sydney is a very tangible expression of giving and helping people in need.
Your sacrifice will give people and families hope... a real hope for their future and show them in a true sense that people care.
Let us open our hearts and give….even though it may not be the right or most suitable time to do so! On behalf of those we serve, THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
I would like to extend to our Committee, a truly wonderful group of individuals, my heartfelt thanks and appreciation for the magnificent work that each of you do that makes the Charity Lunch so special. Your sharing of resources and knowledge reinforces the message of Martin Luther King so aptly... “What are you doing for others?” (Martin Luther King).
