The annual event allows workers across the Illawarra help the Leukaemia Foundation provide community services to local families affected by blood related cancers. Since humble beginnings in 2010 Angels at Work has raised more than $140,000.
Leukaemia Foundation regional manager Nina Field said funds raised ensured vital services were provided at no cost to those who need them. Illawarra business angels help provide safe transport to and from hospital treatments and accommodation close to major treatment centres. “It also helps deliver educational programs as well as emotional support and advocacy”.
Angels at Work 2017 starts with an invitation only breakfast launch at Finance Control where patient ambassador David Crowe will speak. Angels will then spread their wings and visit businesses in Woonona, Corrimal, Wollongong, Port Kembla, Unanderra, Shellharbour and Warilla.
