ABOUT THE CHARITIES
| HOW TO PAY FOR YOUR ITEMS
Starship Foundation /
Starship Children's Health
The Starship Foundation has been chosen to receive all
monies raised for the Starship auction items. Starship was
chosen because Lucy Lawless is on the board of the
Foundation and also a passionate advocate for the
organisation for many years. The Starship Foundation is also
AUSXIP Chosen charity and the reason AUSXIP Charity Auction
was created for; to raise money for the foundation to help
children.
Starship Hospital provides leading health care to nearly
150,000 children each year from around New Zealand and the
Pacific Islands.
But in addition to government funding they need your help to
raise more than $5 million annually to keep the hospital at
the forefront of paediatric care.
As a charitable organisation, Starship Foundation exists
through the generosity of those who lovingly donate money
and/or time to assist in making Starship a world-class
medical facility.
For more information about Starship and the work they do,
please visit their site.
2. What Is The Alisa Ann Ruch Burn Foundation?
This year the sole beneficiary of the
charity auction items for Renee is the Alisa Ann Ruch Burn
Foundation. Money raised from this auction will benefit the
Alisa Ann Ruch Burn
Foundation which is a charity Renee supports. Every year
Renee attends the annaul Burn Relay which raises money for
the foundation.
The Alisa Ann Ruch Burn Foundation (AARBF) is a
California-based nonprofit organization dedicated to
preventing burns and fires and providing services to those
who have been affected by a burn injury. AARBF brings
together health care providers, firefighters, emergency
workers, burn survivors and others to enhance the quality of
life for burn survivors and to make burn injuries a thing of
the past.
Who is
Alisa Ann
At age eight, Alisa Ann Ruch was fatally injured in a
backyard barbecue accident in Southern California. Bravely
using their tragedy as a catalyst for change, Alisa Ann’s
parents, local firefighters and medical professionals joined
together and created AARBF in 1971 with the goal of
preventing burn injuries by teaching Stop Drop and Roll.
What Do They Do
AARBF supports the fire service and medical community to
prevent burns and strives to address the needs of burn
survivors throughout all the stages of recovery. AARBF’s
staff and volunteers work closely with the community to host
prevention programs, raise funds and provide services to
burn survivors.
Where Are Are
AARBF is located in San Francisco, Burbank and Fresno and
provides services throughout most of California.
