Painting the town pink for piggy bank appeal
December 20, 2024
We are tickled pink to announce that the Piggy Bank Appeal has raised more than $120,000 throughout the month of November!
Once again, our long standing partners Commonwealth Bank and ALH Hotels joined our very special community to celebrate the Piggy Bank Appeal. As they’ve done for more than 25 years, Commonwealth Bank painted their branches pink, selling our unique piggy banks all month long. ALH Hotels, who have been supporting the Piggy Bank Appeal for 27 years, donated $1 from every garlic bread sold in venues across the state.
Many local and regional community supporters also collected donations and organised fundraisers in their communities.
The Piggy Bank Appeal is Very Special Kids’ longest running fundraiser and this year our giant piggy banks hit the road again, visiting communities such as the Inverloch Lotto and Commonwealth Bank branches in Rosebud, Wodonga, Shepparton and Corowa.
An army of dedicated volunteers hit the streets of the Melbourne CBD on Piggy Bank Day, Thursday 28 November, collecting donations, selling merchandise and spreading piggy cheer.
We’re so grateful for the ongoing commitment from all our partners and supporters. Thank you for helping to raise vital funds for the children and families in our care. We couldn’t do it without you!
