Amcal is proud to have donated over $350,000 for RizeUp Australia in the first year of its partnership, including the presentation of a $200,000 donation to Nicolle Edwards, RizeUp Australia CEO & Founder, at the RizeUp Australia 10th Anniversary Gala Ball on Saturday night.
RizeUp Australia, Amcal’s charity partner, is a national organisation that works in partnership with domestic violence agencies to provide support for those affected by family and domestic violence.
Since launching the partnership in October, Amcal has supported a number of RizeUp’s home setups nationally, including their 3000th home as they deliver fully furnished homes and urgent support to victim survivors. Amcal has also rolled out a national in-store, point-of-sale fundraising campaign, giving customers the opportunity to top up their purchases with a donation to RizeUp.
Renee Watson, Sigma’s Head of Retail Operations said: “Amcal is very proud to partner with RizeUp, a standalone organisation that shares our Amcal values of compassion and community-focus and enables Amcal to help as many people as possible.’’
“It is incredible to think that from humble beginnings, RizeUp is now celebrating 10 years of impact across Australia. Amcal is delighted to provide our financial contribution to ensure RizeUp can continue to provide life-changing support, a safe environment, and a chance for families to start over,’’ she said.
Nicolle Edwards, CEO & Founder, RizeUp Australia said: “Amcal’s extraordinary generosity represents a deep investment in the safety and recovery of those impacted by domestic and family violence. This level of support enables RizeUp to scale our impact, accelerate our response, and deliver critical services where they are needed most. Together, we are creating meaningful, measurable change in the lives of those we serve.”
