Life Members
The Give Where You Live Foundation is thrilled to induct 3 new Life Members: Mike O’Brien, Ian Cover and Jordan Mavros OAM. Life membership is the highest accolade that can be presented to a supporter of the Foundation. We would like to thank each of them for the significant contribution they have made to our community.
The Chairman’s Award
The Foundation is also pleased to announce Robbie Lecchino of King of the Castle Café as the 2016 recipient of the Chairman’s Award. Robbie’s dedication to the Foundation and the Feed Geelong campaign has been tireless. Harnessing the power of social media and café patrons together with hosting special events throughout the year, Robbie raised in excess of $23,000 for Feed Geelong, helping to ensure that our most vulnerable people have access to fresh, nutritious food.
