Standss Team testing the wheelbarrowWhat has a Wheelbarrow race got to do with Microsoft Outlook? Your Outlook team at Standss is competing in a wheelbarrow race to raise funds for special-needs children here in Fiji.
Long-time readers and customers will know that the team at Standss does a lot of work with child-based charities in Fiji. One of the charities that we have worked very closely with over the last few years is the Frank Hilton Organization.
What is the Frank Hilton Organization?
The Frank Hilton Organization was established in 1960 to provide education and related services to children with disabilities in Fiji.
Fiji is a developing country where children still do not have easy access to many of the facilities and services that children in developed countries do. This is particularly true for children with special needs.
We chose to work with the Hilton Special School because of the excellent work that they have done over the years. Their work enables these children to enjoy their childhood, to learn, to grow and to have futures that the rest of us often take for granted.
On our visits to the school we have always found the children treated with the gentleness, firmness and dignity that all children deserve.
You can find more information on the Frank Hilton Organization Website an on the Frank Hilton Organization Facebook Group.
What is the AMAZING Wheelbarrow Race?
This year the team at Frank Hilton are organizing a first ever Amazing Wheelbarrow Race as their annual fund-raising event. Groups of up to 8 people can enter as a team and race for 3 laps around the newly rebuilt Albert Park in Suva.
One team member will actually need to be in the Wheelbarrow at all times (with the appropriate safety gear on) while the others take turns pushing.
The entry fee for the competition is $5,000 per team which can be raised through fundraising and sponsorships.
Prizes will be awarded for the first 2 teams to finish as well as best dressed and most funds collected.
How you can Support us?
The team at Standss decided that we will pay for the entry fee of $5000 from our revenues. This is only possible thanks to your support of our Outlook addons.
However… if you are interested you can further support our efforts to help the Frank Hilton Organization by:
Purchasing Additional Outlook Addons for You and Your Team (a portion of which will be donated)
Or.. Making a Donation using this Link (100% of Donations will be given to Hilton).
