Charitable Giving

Christmas with the Legacy Village
As part of our Christmas celebration we decided to do away with “secret santa” routine and to instead each purchase a gift for lady resident at Brisbane Water Legacy House.  Legacy provides housing to dependants of past members of the Australian Defence Forces.

Our team enjoy's being able to spread the Christmas cheer and our visit and gift giving left a lasting memory with the residents, especially to those who may not have had contact with friends and families over the festive season.

We look forward to visiting the Legacy Village again this Christmas.

Mingara Relay for Life 2010 - October 16th -17^th
Robson Partners goal for this year was to "keep the baton going" In support of the Cancer Council’s fund raising cause, with more participants, an extra baton, more laps and hours to cover.

The result was we had 13 staff members attend with the support of 13 family members and we covered a very moving and successful 12 hours.
We raised almost $1,000 and training and preparations are underway to support this worthy cause for the coming year.

Note from the partners:-
It was gratifying to see the whole team support this event with attendance at Mingara on the day.
From the company prospective we recognise the importance of supporting and encouraging our team in the pursuit of these very worthwhile community endeavours. It creates a sense of community spirit at a personal and team level and this resonates entirely with our work life balance.

Bay to Bay Fun Run 2010 - June 20^th
On Sunday the 20^th June 22 staff and family members joined the crowd to take part in the 12km scenic course from Woy Woy to Gosford.

Participants included the “fitness fanatics” who had been in training for months leading up to the event and set out a cracking pace, the walkers who meant business and mums with prams who were out to enjoy the stroll

Training for the event commenced in April, with a diligent number of staff and family meeting at 5.45am each Monday at the waterfront. Our very athletic Debbie led the 45 min training sessions which included many laughs, stitches, aches and pains. It was a great way to start the day and the working week, as well as preparation for the fun run.

Debbie also holds the proud title of highest personal sponsorship fundraiser after gathering a whopping $4,960.00 in donations from family, friends, workmates and clients. Debbie’s original target was $2,000 which was surpassed well before the end of March. Debbie was awarded with an MP3 player which she intends to donate to this year’s Relay for Life .The Robson team is proud of Debbie’s wonderful achievement and was happy to support Debbie both before and after her amazing run.

Debbie received a lovely surprise the following Tuesday when a remedial masseuse was brought into the office from 'back in Harmony’ by the Robson partners. Ross from ‘Back in Harmony’ provided Debbie with a much needed one hour massage to relieve those poor overworked, tired muscles.

Congratulations Debbie!
