PAYCE SUPPORTS QUEENSLAND SALVOS 2015 RED SHIELD APPEAL
- Brisbane, Queensland:
Leading Australian urban development company and corporate sponsor, PAYCE, has pledged $32,000 to this year's The Salvation Army's Queensland Red Shield Appeal.
In the lead up to the scheduled official launches of the Salvation Army Red Shield appeal over the next month, PAYCE have pledged donations to metropolitan and regional areas of Queensland Red Shield Appeals, covering the regions of Brisbane, Townsville and Ipswich.
The Salvation Army annual door knock is scheduled to take place over the weekend of 30-31 May 2015
As a continuous supporter of The Salvation Army, PAYCE will donate $15,000 to the Brisbane appeal as a gold sponsor. The Brisbane appeal will be launched at a gala function on 24 March 2015 attended by His Excellency, The Honourable Paul de Jersey AC, Governor of Queensland, Queensland Premier and Minister for the Arts, The Hon Annastacia Palaszczuk, Brisbane Lord Mayor, Graham Quirk and other dignitaries.
PAYCE will also donate $10,000 to the Ipswich Red Shield Appeal as leading naming sponsor for the third successive year and donate a further $7,000 to Townsville's appeal. The official Townsville launch will take place on 21 April 2015 with the Ipswich launch to follow two days later on the 23 April 2015.
Brian Boyd and PAYCE continue their support for the Ipswich Red Shield Appeal in 2015.
PAYCE Managing Director, Brian Boyd said his company was gratified to have the opportunity to support the Queensland Appeal as more and more individuals and families across the State are finding it increasingly challenging to make ends meet.
"The Red Shield Appeal is one of the most worthy fundraisers in the country and we are proud to expand our involvement in Queensland to the city of Brisbane and Townsville," he said.
PAYCE has been a sponsor of the Salvos Ipswich Appeal for the past two years and continues the association this year.
Mr Boyd said The Salvation Army deserved generous monetary support, particularly from the business sector, to keep up the good work of providing social aid.
"It's a privilege to be associated with an organisation that does such amazing work in turning the lives of individuals and families around," Brian Boyd said.
"Queenslanders would be acutely aware of the extraordinary role The Salvation Army plays both during and in the aftermath of natural disasters, which can impact any of us without warning," Mr Boyd explained.
"Already this year, Queensland has experienced a number of fierce storms and damaging conditions, including tropical cyclone Marcia, which resulted in major flooding in central and northern areas of the state. Brisbane also experienced severe thunderstorms and, in each instance, the Salvos were some of the first services to arrive to help alleviate suffering and provide welfare," Mr Boyd continued.
Dominic Sullivan and PAYCE - Social Equity Through Not-for-Profit Organisations.
PAYCE's General Manager, Dominic Sullivan said PAYCE is firmly committed to social equity.
"For many years, PAYCE has been helping provide support to those in society disadvantaged by circumstances," he said.
"Our policy is to work alongside respected not-for-profit organisations and groups in supporting the good services and assistance being delivered across communities."
Salvation Army Queensland Thanks PAYCE for Sponsorship of the 2015 Red Shield Appeal.
The Salvation Army's Queensland spokesperson, Major Neil Dickson said PAYCE was an outstanding supporter of The Salvation Army and the annual Red Shield Appeal.
"On behalf of The Salvation Army Queensland, I would like to express our appreciation to Brian and his company for their generosity this year and their ongoing support," he said.
The Red Shield Appeal will make a difference to more than one million Australians who depend on The Salvation Army every year in their time of need.
