Data#3 raises $25,000 for Starlight Foundation

Data#3 has raised $25,000 for the Starlight Children’s Foundation at its charity golf day this week.

The Brisbane IT giant brought together 140 customers and 11 vendor partners for a day on the green at Brisbane’s Indooroopilly Golf Course.

Raffle ticket sales, auction proceeds and on-course donations totalled $25,000, which will be used to grant four wishes to seriously ill children.

Data#3 partnered with Starlight this year as part of its corporate social responsibility and community program.

Chief executive Laurence Baynham said the initiative proved that by working together, Data#3 and Starlight could make a real contribution to the community.

“I’d like to take this opportunity to thank our customers, our vendors and our staff, that helped us to reach and exceed our fundraising goal for the day,” said Laurence Baynham. “Once again, we have proved that by working together, we can make a real contribution to our community.”

Last year, Data#3’s charity golf day helped raise $20,000 for the Women’s Legal Service Queensland for survivors of domestic violence.
