EVENT PARTNERS

Mcec

For almost a decade MCEC has been the proud home of the Good Friday Appeal, donating countless hours and millions of dollars in venue hire, technology, resources and catering to support the event. MCEC provides the invaluable space to house Kids Day Out which hosted over 102,500 visitors this year, the Phone Room, Money Counting Room and the all-important behind-the-scenes operations for the Good Friday Appeal. This combined with their team’s expertise, flexibility and professionalism makes them an exceptional host and partner.

“This was my first Good Friday Appeal, I was so pleased to be in amongst all the activity. It is so heart-warming to see the community gather and raise muchneeded funds for such an important cause.”

Telstra

Telstra’s continued support of the Good Friday Appeal was outstanding once again this year, providing exceptional technical and service with the phone room receiving 8,362 calls on the day, with a peak of over 1500 calls at 7:30 pm. Telstra’s support also extended to providing a prize for the Good Friday Appeal Raffle, and running a data analysis program with volunteers from Telstra Helix / Data 4 Good, enabling informed strategic decisions for the Appeal.
