The insurance industry has raised more than $18,000 for the children’s family cancer charity Camp Quality at the ANZIIF’s 46th annual South Australian charity luncheon.

Camp Quality provides a support network for children living with cancer and their families.

“I am thrilled that ANZIIF has been able to partner with Camp Quality and to help generate awareness and raise funds for children growing up with cancer and their families,” said Mary Orgill, ANZIIF GM for marketing and events. “We are truly grateful for the overwhelming support we receive every year from the South Australian insurance community. It is a very special thing.”

“We have camps to take kids and their families away from worrying about cancer,” said Kylea Tink, CEO of Camp Quality. “Starting from one-day trips for children aged four to six through to five-day camps for those aged between 10 and 13, the camps let ‘kids be kids.’ They can make friends and memories and take everyday risks that they usually miss. It might be something as simple as going on a flying fox or playing in a sandpit, but being able to finally do it with safe, one-on-one supervision means a lot to them.”

The charity luncheon, one of the largest insurance networking events in South Australia, was MC’d by Katrina Webb, Australian Paralympian gold medallist.
