Henley and Vicurban Raise $670,000 for the
Royal Children’s Hospital Good Friday Appeal
The 2009 Henley Good Friday Appeal House and Land charity auction last year has broken record numbers. The successful bidder secured the luxury double storey home in St Albans at $670,000. With more than 10 interested bidders on the day the auction was one of the longest and most exciting seen in the past 16 years. Victorians have again dug deep to support our sick kids, an amazing effort in spite of the current economic conditions.
Over 300 people turned up to the open for inspection prior to the live broadcast of the auction, with a visit from Easter bunny and a BBQ lunch proving the right combination to sit back and enjoy the auction.
Last year’s large donation all of which goes directly to the Good Friday appeal brings the total raised by Henley and Vic Urban to a staggering $7.47 million over 16 years.
Once again this terrific result could not have been achieved without the generous support of our suppliers, trades, Henley employees and the many services who have again donated their time to this worthwhile cause. To the hundreds who have given their time Henley says a big Thank You.
30 homes donated
Since 1993 the company with the support of suppliers and tradespeople has donated 30 luxury homes and land to the hospital. The homes are auctioned on Good Friday during the Easter period with all proceeds going straight to the hospital.
The funds raised over the past 16 years have been dedicated to much needed research and equipment.
