Why support Movember?
Movember supports two men's health charities - Beyond Blue and The Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia.
Malcolm lost his younger brother a few years ago after he lost a silent battle with depression, a condition he never discussed with family, friends or doctors. Malcolm has since learnt that many young people handle depression the same way with equally tragic consequences.
Beyond Blue do great work in de-mystifying depression, developing depression prevention and early intervention programs and giving sufferers and their carers vital information on the illness and treatments available.
Henley supports Malcolm's terrific effort to this cause with $2717.34 raised by Malcolm alone. Henley has again in 2009 matched his fundraising efforts dollar for dollar taking the total money raised by Malcolm for men’s health services to $5434.68. Once again a terrific job!
Indeed a Good Friday for The Royal Children's Hospital with Villawood Properties and Henley Homes raising a whopping $635,000 for their Good Friday Charity Home Auction today.
Fierce bidding saw a flurry of hands raised in order to secure the Charity Auction Home at the Alamanda estate all as part of the Good Friday Appeal 2010.
A long standing fundraising project for the Good Friday Appeal, with the fantastic result bringing the grand total of funds raised over the past 17 years, to $9,574,840.75 – all of which goes to The Royal Children's Hospital.
The house, a part of our brand new Kube luxury collection of homes, included numerous luxury inclusions and attracted some keen bidding on the day. This year saw Henley building and auctioning its 25th Home and Land package for the Good Friday Appeal. The Directors of Henley have now been supporting the Appeal for 17 years, a truly amazing feat and something the company is proud to be apart of.
Once again many thanks are in order here... firstly to all of the trades who donate much of their time, many of these guys are small business owners who really are giving up their wages to assist the cause and its these guys who are the real heroes. A big thanks to our many suppliers who have donated, as you can see, some big ticket items this year making the house a true stand out from many on the market today. To Villawood who have donated the block, to the Henley Construction, Design and production team who really worked wonders to have this house completed. Stay tuned for next year.
