Gold Fields, a Western Australian gold mining company, donated a golden gift to support the State’s world-famous Telethon to ensure a better life for children now and in the future.
The 99.9% pure 1kg gold bar, valued at approximately AUD $85,000, was the company’s second gold bullion donation to the Channel 7 Telethon Trust.
Participants at Shooting Stars’ Laverton site are now the proud owners of their unique team name and dress design, that incorporates indigenous elements to communicate a bright future.
As Shooting Stars’ Premier Partner, the Gold Industry Group were delighted to witness the program’s expansion in the Western Australian Goldfields region last year, with the launch of the Laverton site, following a successful trial.
The Gold Industry Group is making a significant contribution to Western Australia’s indigenous communities through its ground-breaking partnership with Netball WA, West Coast Fever and Shooting Stars.
As the first Premier Partner of Shooting Stars, the Group’s partnership will see a new Shooting Stars trial site be identified and established later in 2019, expanding the program beyond its existing footprint in regional WA.
