Aug 14, Carnival Australia, the umbrella company of P&O Cruises, continues to be CFF’s staunchest supporter as recent fundraising efforts saw $17,000 achieved through the recently launched program ‘Walk the Decks.’
CFF board member, and Carnival Australia CEO, Ann Sherry AO, attended the media launch and was joined by CFF founder and fellow board member, Catherine Freeman.
Also in attendance were champion AFL Sydney Swan players Adam Goodes and Michael O’Loughlin.
‘Walk the Decks’ is expected to become an annual series of events.
Over the past two years, P&O staff and passengers have contributed more than $140,000 to CFF.
Aug 14 – 17, Ann Sherry AO, Catherine Freeman and her mother Cecelia (who was born on Palm Island) enjoyed a mini-cruise on the Pacific Dawn and enjoyed the world class hospitality and service of the ocean liners crew and staff.
The cruise provided a magical experience, especially for Catherine and her mother as first time sea farers.
CFF acknowledges and thanks Ann Sherry and all of her mighty staff and crew of Pacific Dawn, Greg Dehn and his team, and Michael Hogan.
