Big fund-raising effort 

A group of young aspiring professionals in Perth set themselves the goal of raising $20,000 in 90 days for Mercy Ships.  “When I first took the call, I thought they were setting themselves a pretty ambitious target”, says Gary Regazzoli, CEO of Mercy Ships Australia. The group had been attending a financial planning seminar where they were challenged by the speaker to go and raise funds to support a deserving charity. “We’re glad they chose us. You can imagine my surprise when Dominique Raubenheimer called me a couple of weeks ago to inform me they had reached their goal”. Not only did the group make their ambitious goal, they also enjoyed the experience saying, “It was a lot of fun!” Pictured are Ian Yiannakis, Michael Brezmen, Chandanie Godwin, Dominique Raubenheimer, and Karen Cosnett presenting the $20,000 to Gary Regazzoli (second from right).
