TEFMA & BrAshA-T
This year TEFMA announced their new charity partner, BrAshA-T, and we had a special presentation at the Awards Night from a respected member of the TEFMA Board, Wayne Millar as he revealed a personal struggle his family is facing; his two young grandchildren being diagnosed with a very rare disease Ataxia-telangiectasia. We look forward to working together in the future to raise funds which will hopefully help find a cure. A big thank you to all those who partook in the game during evening, assisting to raise over $1,000 for this cause.
To find out more about BrAshA-T, or to make a donation, please view the BrAshA-T website.
Thank you again to all those who submitted an applications for the TEFMA Clever Campus Awards or one of the scholarships, and to our members for your ongoing support.
