Baker McKenzie<br />

Partner with Tuberous<br />

Sclerosis Australia<br />

Tuberous Sclerosis Australia (TSA) is delighted to announce<br />

our new partnership with global law firm Baker McKenzie.<br />

After a competitive internal selection process, TSA was<br />

selected as one of three national charities Baker McKenzie will<br />

work with for the next three years. Baker McKenzie will support<br />

TSA by offering ‘in kind’ support and volunteers for TSA events<br />

such as awareness and fundraising events and involvement in<br />

TSC Hero events.<br />

This is a terrific opportunity for TSA to raise awareness and funds<br />

to improve the lives of Australians living with the challenges of TSC.<br />

TSA wishes to thank Mia from Melbourne for nominating<br />

us for this partnership opportunity. Mia is a lawyer at the<br />

firm and her daughter, who is two years old, was recently<br />

diagnosed with TSC. Mia says: “I have been in regular<br />

contact with TSA since my daughter’s TSC diagnosis and the<br />

information and support I have received has been invaluable<br />

during a difficult time. I am thrilled the firm I work for has<br />

chosen to support this small but dynamic organisation and I<br />

know we can make a great difference by contributing even in a<br />

minor way. I’ve seen how desperately in need of assistance TSA<br />

is and I look forward to this partnership having a positive impact<br />

on families and their communities affected by TSC.”<br />

We’d like to thank Baker McKenzie for choosing to partner<br />

with TSA and look forward to working together to improve the<br />

lives of individuals living with TSC.<br />

If your<br />

workplace, small<br />

or large, supports<br />

charities please talk to<br />

them about TSA’s work.<br />

The TSA team is ready to put<br />

forward our case for support<br />

and ideas for how they can<br />

get involved. You could<br />

be the inspiration they<br />

need to choose us.<br />
