Burson Auto Parts Champions Social Responsibility at Capricorn Convention 2024
July 17th, 2024
Introduction:
At Burson Auto Parts, we believe in driving positive change both on and off the road. Our commitment to social responsibility was on full display at the recent Capricorn Convention 2024 Gala Dinner in Hawaii, which we proudly sponsored. In a move to redefine tradition and prioritise sustainability, we introduced a new initiative to the convention that allowed delegates to steer our charitable contributions towards causes closest to their hearts.
Empowering Delegates to Make a Difference:
Instead of distributing soft plush toys as gifts, we presented each attendee with a Hawaiian themed postcard that enabled them to choose a charity for us to donate to on their behalf. "We are proud to change things up and move into a new direction at the Capricorn Convention 2024," said Fiona Gotas – Bapcor Trade, Group Marketing and Communications Manager. "By empowering delegates to choose a charity for our donation, we are not only contributing to worthy causes but also engaging our community in a meaningful way."
David Fraser, Capricorn's Group CEO, was thrilled that the Capricorn Convention was able to facilitate such generous donations to worthy causes.
"Capricorn Conventions are all about bringing our community together to network and have fun. Burson Auto Part’s donation added an extra element to the event this year, with guests being involved in the community giving process.”
A Collective Commitment to Change:
Burson Auto Parts pledged a $10,000 donation to be distributed among three esteemed charities: Healthy Male, The Smith Family, and Orange Sky. By supporting these organisations, we aim to address critical issues affecting our communities and provide vital assistance to those in need.
- Healthy Male: supporting men's health initiatives.
- The Smith Family: assisting disadvantaged Australian children and their families.
- Orange Sky: improving the lives of people experiencing homelessness through mobile laundry and shower services.
Our Community, Our Commitment:
“"At Burson Auto Parts, community lies at the core of our values," added Fiona Gotas. We are dedicated to giving back and creating lasting change, and our partnership with these remarkable charities is a testament to that commitment. Together, we will make a real difference in the lives of those who need it most.
Stay Connected:
Burson Auto Parts remains dedicated to fostering meaningful connections within the automotive industry and beyond. As part of this commitment, we will provide updates on the allocation of the donation, ensuring transparency and accountability to all Capricorn Convention attendees.
