NSW Chair helps raise over $200,000 for charity

19 May 2010

David Callaghan, NSW Chair and head of PricewaterhouseCoopers’ Business Solutions group, contributed to raising over $200,000 for the Day of Difference Foundation at the three day Entoure Cycle Classic Hunter Valley 2010 charity event held over the first weekend of May. 

The fundraiser requires participants to cycle from Galston to the Hunter Valley and return to Manly Dam. It is organised by Entoure to raise funds for the Day of Difference Foundation. 

 

The Day of Difference Foundation is a charitable organisation dedicated to working for critically injured children and their families. With over 60000 Australian children being seriously injured each year, The Day of Difference Foundation helps build a community of support for all children and their families who are struggling with life changing critical injuries.

 

David is the Chair of the NSW Committee of CIPSA, a Chartered Accountant, and holds Masters Degrees in Accounting, Business Administration and Operations Management. He has over fifteen years experience in procurement in professional services, property, construction and engineering. Business Solutions manages PwC's Procurement, Events, Facilities, Records, Research and Knowledge Management, and Resource Management.

 

“I feel very lucky to have had the opportunity to participate, and be able to contribute to a really worthwhile cause. Our team raised over $23,000, and we raised over $200,000 overall.”

 

“It was a fantastic event, weather was mostly good, no accidents, and a lot of fun. I was pretty sore for the 3 or 4 days afterwards, but back to normal now and starting to think about the next challenge.”
