THE MCGRATH Foundation
The McGrath Foundation was set up by the well known cricketer Glenn McGrath after his wife lost her battle with breast cancer. The foundation raises money to place McGrath Breast Care Nurses in communities all across Australia. The foundation raises awareness through their website, mass events such as cricket games, and through community groups such as Edwards Hall. Edwards Hall organised a specific event named Mystery Bus in 2015 to raise money for the McGrath Foundation, and has continued running the event to this day. find more information about the McGrath Foundation here.
THE LEUKAEMIA FOUNDATION
As a college we have participated in the Worlds Greatest Shave a number of times. This year, we have raised over $5000 towards The Leukaemia Foundation. This is both online and personal donation leading up to the event, and then once more during the event we auction off the shaving rights. This event is one of the favourites here at Edwards Hall. It allows everyone to get involved, whether by shaving their head, doing the shaving, donating some money, or merely encouraging those who are putting their head on the line. find more information about the Leukaemia Foundation here.
