Property CEOs support disadvantaged youth

Property CEOs support disadvantaged youthCompany leaders and staff from Investa, BUILT, Stockland, Corrs Chambers Westgarth and UBS were among those to abseil down 33 floors of Sydney’s Investa building to raise funds for disadvantaged youth.Held at 1 Market Street from 17-18 October, the event helped to raise funds for the Sir David Martin Foundation (SDMF), which supports the work of Triple Care Farm.Triple Care Farm is an award-winning rehabilitation and treatment program that assists young people affected by homelessness, substance abuse, domestic violence and mental health issues.Among the industry leaders to take part were Investa Office’s CEO, Campbell Hanan, who was joined by colleagues Cameron Holt, CEO of Investa Land, and Peter Menegazzo, group executive and fund manager of Investa Commercial Property Fund (ICPF).”We’re very proud to partner with SDMF to support the great work they do at Triple Care Farm,” said Hanan.”While stepping off the edge of 1 Market Street and abseiling down 133 metres was certainly a challenge, I’m pleased we had such great support from our staff, networks and industry to raise money for this very worthy cause,” he added.Alex Green, CEO of SDMF, was full of praise for the Investa staff who took up the challenge.”While success rates at Triple Care Farm are high, it takes a significant investment to get each person through the three-month program – more than $27,000 per person,” he said.”We were therefore very pleased to have Investa support us in one of our major annual fundraising initiatives that contributes significant funding to the running of Triple Care Farm.”Investa teams raised more than $75,000 for SDMF.For more information, visit: http://abseilforyouth2014.gofundraise.com.au
