5cent Campaign Launch

5cent Campaign Launch

Last Thursday we officially launched our exciting 5cent Campaign to media and stakeholders at an event at the iconic Shot Tower Square at Melbourne Central.

At the launch our CEO Elliot Costello spoke about this year’s 5cent Campaign and ways Australians can get involved and help raise much-needed funds for youth education projects in Australia, Africa and Asia.

Elliot also announced the 2013 5cent ambassadors, which include Saints captain Nick Riewoldt, former Miss Universe Australia Scherri-Lee Biggs, MTV VJ Kate Peck and radio hosts Brig and Lehmo.  Each ambassador was appointed because they are passionate about YGAP’s purpose and chose to get involved as a way to raise awareness of the 5cent campaign and the project partners.

Look out for 5cent in 2013!

In 2012 YGAP launched 5cent: one of the most innovative fundraising campaigns ever seen in Australia to start collecting this neglected currency and passing it on to those who needed it most.
YGAP was able to reach our ambitious goal of collecting 1,000,000 individual five cent pieces in five weeks! And we’ll be back, bigger and better this year!
