| Donations |
As a voluntary non-profit organisation, the Association depends largely on our fund raising efforts and the continuing generous support of donors for their much needed sponsorships and donations.
Yet, ours is a charitable organisation, which not only cares for the Chinese community, but also the larger Australian community. The Association often donates a part of funds raised by us to mainstream fund-raising appeals. A few examples of the more recent donations are as below:
- Amanda Young Foundation: Chung Wah Association had donated $1,800 from the proceeds of 2008 Chinese New Year Miss Chinatown Pageant on the 10th February 2008, toward the Foundation’s Meningococcal Disease Research Program.
- China Snow Storm Disaster Relief Appeal: Chung Wah had collected $7,310 from members of the association and the general public. The donations were handed to the Chinese Consul General in Perth on 14th February 2008.
- China Sichuan Earthquake Appeal: Chung Wah had collected $93,000 which includes the generous donations from the members and general public including the Fund Raising Dinner & Dance event on the 24th May. The association has expressed to the Chinese Consul General our wish to channel the donations toward rebuilding a school in the disaster area. We also request that the school be named after the Association and thereafter maintain a long term relationship with the school with annual scholarships from Chung Wah for the needy and outstanding performers. The Association is still waiting for instruction from the Chinese Consul General in Perth for further action.
- 2008 Australian Olympic Team Appeal: Chung Wah Association had joined many WA Chinese organizations in several funds raising events in support of 2008 Australian Olympic Team. The Chinese Community has raised over $80,000 for the appeal.
The testimony of the Association's responsibilities and commitment to the Chinese and the larger Australia communities is harmony - expressed as a warm welcome and ready acceptance of people of ethnic Chinese descent, present and in the future, into friendly Australia - tourists, students, cultural exchanges, visiting artists, migrants, trade missions and so on. |
