Contributing at a local level for a global cause!
social responsibility, good corporate citizenship, triple bottom line!
The commitment behind all these philosophies means a lot at Connecting Images and is an integral part of our culture.
Two years ago, many of our clients generously supported Cal’s fund raising efforts, when his team completed the grueling 100km Oxfam Trailwalk in 32 hours. Cal admits it is fantastic to have done it ONCE and was all for being involved again – but this time on the support team!
In April, Connecting Images and Peak Physiotherapy (specialists in sports injuries and educational rehabilitation for clients including elite sporting teams – Indian Cricket Team, North Melbourne Football Club, Carlton Soccer Club) joined forces, to help raise funds for Oxfam and support the Hartwell Hikers, a team of school teachers from Hartwell Primary School, undertake this monumental challenge.
Muscles were massaged, blisters bandaged and bodies nourished at each checkpoint – including the horror 3am stopover at Mt Evelyn football ground on the first night. After a three-hour kip, the team was on its way again. Our support crew walked along the trail at various times, including the start of the torturous haul up Mt Donna Buang by torchlight on the second night, which lifted morale when the going got really tough.
We were so proud when our four Hikers reached the summit, footsore and weary, but in excellent spirits. Three local Boroondara teams working together have made an impressive contribution to Oxfam this year.
