Super Boss Day for Heart Kids
March 2016
Eight kids will be born with heart disease in Australia today.
It’s a sobering thought, and it’s the reason Matthews Steer supports Heart Kids, a non-profit organisation focused on Childhood Heart Disease (CHD), with a number of fundraising events each year.
On Monday, March 7, three members of the Mathews Steer team will become heroes for HeartKids, donning spandex, eye masks and capes for Super Boss Day, an initiative that sees bosses and co-workers dress as superheroes to raise money to support children with heart disease, and their families.
In 2015 Matthews Steer raised more than $5000 on Super Boss Day and Matthews Steer General Manager Catherine Duncan says the initiative is a lighthearted way to make a meaningful contribution to a serious cause. “Super Boss Day is just a heap of fun for a day, and a great way to raise awareness and have a laugh in the process. The Heart Kids team makes their cause very real and present by staging great events where a speaker who previously benefited from support explains what it meant to them and their family. That means we see first-hand who’s received support from the contributions we make.”
Thanks to Heart Kids more than 32,000 adults have lived with heart defects since childhood. You can add to that number by donating generously to help make a difference for all the little super heroes out there who are doing it tough each and everyday.
