Major Partners

ALH Group

Very Special Kids is tickled pink to announce the ALH Group as a Major Partner of the 2012 Piggy Bank Appeal.

The ALH Group network of 92 Victorian Venues will support the Appeal by collecting donations, selling merchandise, organising an array of fundraising events and activities, and by making a corporate donation. The ALH Group support will be proudly displayed on ‘the Aussie Icon’ the giant piggy bank (700kg pig trailer) who will make his way around metropolitan and regional Victoria during the Piggy Bank Appeal.

BUPA

Bupa through their Victorian Branches and corporate offices are a wonderful long term supporter of the Piggy Bank Appeal. As a Major Partner they provide significant funds and public awareness opportunities through their branch networks.

During September their branches become 'piggy central' for donations, merchandise sales and staff fundraising activities. The well recognised and trusted brand of Bupa is a great fit with the work Very Special Kids does with families, who face daily health challenges with their children.

Bupa's support is proudly displayed on Patrick the giant piggy bank who will be making his way around metropolitan and regional Victoria during the Piggy Bank Appeal visiting Branches.

Channel 7

The Seven network continues to support the Appeal by providing us with well recognised media personalities to host our special events including Sandy Roberts, Rebecca Maddern and in 2012, our Appeal Ambassadors Peter Mitchell and Jennifer Keyte.

Peter and Jennifer will feature in our community service television ad, which is aired by the network throughout the Appeal.

The Seven Network also covers the cost of fuel for our Metro & Regional trail vehicles.

Having the support of Australia's number one primetime rating television network is vital to the success of our annual public Appeal.

Channel 7's support is proudly displayed on Penelope the giant piggy bank who has been seen in a number of special weather crosses down at their Docklands headquarters.

The Commonwealth Bank of Australia

The Commonwealth Bank of Australia is a long standing Major Partner of the Piggy Bank Appeal with their 295 Victorian branches accepting public donations free-of-charge, including coins from Piggy Banks.

Their support comes in the form of corporate donations, staff fundraising activities including some major events like the CBA Staff Social & Charity Club Ball and the CBA Corporate Golf Day.

Branches throughout Victoria will hold a CBA Very Special Kids day, where they run special Piggy Events and link with their local community groups to raise funds for the Appeal.

We are indebted to the Commonwealth Bank for their amazing support and are proud to say which bank... is our bank!

Commonwealth Bank of Australia's support is proudly displayed on Princess the giant piggy bank who will be making her way around metropolitan and regional Victoria during the Piggy Bank Appeal, stopping at many Branches hosting events during the Appeal.

Metricon Homes

Metricon Homes have been a Major Partner of the Appeal since 2007. During this period they have built and sold four homes with net profits being donated to support the Piggy Bank Appeal and the work of Very Special Kids.

This year they are partnering with land developers, Stockland in the build of a ‘Very Special' Delta in Highlands Craigieburn, which will be on sale in June this year.

Their many Display Centres across Victoria are flying the 'pink piggy' colours and their staff are instigating lots of great fundraising activities.

There is great synergy between Victoria's largest home builder and the work of Very Special Kids with 'families' being the centre of both organisations.

Metricon's support is proudly displayed on Percy the giant piggy bank who will be making his way around metropolitan and regional Victoria during the Piggy Bank Appeal. Percy will be visiting a number of Metricon Display Centres during the Appeal.
