Applications for the next grant round close on 31 March 2012. The Grant Committee will consider all applications in early May ready for Board approval in late May.
Nuns on the Run
Thank you to our supporters of the Nuns on the Run City2Surf Team. With your help we have raised over $18,000 for the creation of a Sisters of Charity Tertiary Scholarship that will be made available to a young women leaving foster care.
Education is key to breaking the cycle of poverty and building a brighter future for a young person who had a tough start in life.
Please be assured that 100% of the money you have entrusted to the Sisters of Charity Foundation will be used for this very worthwhile project.
What a fantastic effort by our team on the day with Sr Leone Wittmack our Team Leader finished the race in 1:38:43 and the youngest member of our team Louie Meagher crossing the line in 2:27:38.
