The QBE Foundation took staff and volunteers from charities it supports to the recent Sydney-Fremantle AFL match, to thank them for their work.

Workers from Brainwave, Camp Quality, The Big Issue, The Kids’ Cancer Project, Assistance Dogs Australia and Foodbank enjoyed food and entertainment in QBE’s club room at the SCG before the match.

“This special occasion gives us the opportunity to provide our QBE Foundation partners a much-needed day of fun and celebrate their momentous contribution to their respective causes,” QBE Foundation Chairman Sally Kincaid said.

“We truly appreciate how generously these wonderful individuals give their time, talent and energy to others and hope this gesture goes a small way to show our gratitude.”

Ms Kincaid says the QBE Foundation has donated more than $500,000 in grants and hundreds of volunteer hours so far this year.
