Gallagher has provided sponsorship for the KFC Youth Foundation, an initiative launched this year to support mentoring, skills development and mental wellbeing and to address disadvantage.

The broker came on board as a gold sponsor of the inaugural Victorian charity dinner held at the Shepparton Woolshed last month.

The gala dinner was the culmination of a three-day rally event for about 30 participants along the Murray River.

“It really adds impetus to a grassroots cause when a recognised corporate lends their support to a new initiative, engendering trust and inspiring others to get involved,” KFC franchisee Chris Retzos said.
