<strong>Toll</strong> priority staff volunteer<br />
for Kids under Cover<br />
on 20 march, a group of <strong>Toll</strong> priority<br />
employees and their families<br />
volunteered to assist in the Twilight<br />
Running Festival in Brisbane.<br />
The Twilight running Festival raised<br />
money for Kids Under Cover, a not for<br />
profit organisation building homes and<br />
providing scholarships for homeless and<br />
at risk youth.<br />
With a$1 from the entry fee of each<br />
runner donated to the charity, the event<br />
raised over a$10,000.<br />
Kids under Cover is a customer of <strong>Toll</strong><br />
priority DX solutions, using the DX<br />
network and services for the distribution<br />
of internal mail, as well as their annual<br />
report and campaigns throughout the<br />
year.<br />
on the day, 14 <strong>Toll</strong> priority staff members<br />
and their families spent up to six hours at<br />
Automotive runs for the kids<br />
an intrepid group of runners, joggers, striders and shufflers<br />
from automotive, <strong>Toll</strong> Global logistics turned out recently to<br />
participate in the melbourne Run for the Kids fundraising event.<br />
the event assisting the event organisers<br />
with registrations, runner recovery and<br />
water stations, and handing out medals<br />
to the runners.<br />
Shona McNeill, Community Fundraising<br />
and events Coordinator at Kids under<br />
Cover said, “it was so great to meet the<br />
<strong>Toll</strong> team; you all did such a brilliant job<br />
and should be so proud of yourselves!<br />
Thank you so much for making a<br />
difference.” <<br />
Held in the Royal Botanic Gardens, only a hop, skip and a jump<br />
from the <strong>Toll</strong> head offices on st Kilda road, the event raised<br />
money for the Royal Children’s Hospital Good Friday Appeal.<br />
Decked out in matching caps and T-shirt sporting the new <strong>Toll</strong><br />
logo, with the crunch of autumn leaves underfoot, the team<br />
from <strong>Toll</strong> auto completed the course without reportable incident<br />
(although some members felt a bit stiff the following day!).<br />
some of our more colourful members (wearing pink feather<br />
boas) even flirted with fame appearing both as still and (barely)<br />
moving images on the evening TV coverage of the run.<br />
a beautiful melbourne day and a well organised event combined<br />
to allow a group of work friends to have fun while making a<br />
healthy contribution to an important and worthy cause. <<br />
