  7. Tour de Kawana

  8. Tour de Kawana • Commenced in 2006 after several local businesspeople wanted to pursue their passion for cycling and raise funds for CFQ. • Aim was to raise money by encouraging families to participate in the ride. • Corporate financial support was vital. • A plan was developed to ensure the event was professional and met the philosophies of CFQ. • Branding and marketing material all had to ensure the TDK was seen as a significant local charity event.

  9. Tour de Kawana Outcomes: • ANZ has been a major sponsor since 2006 as have media partners Hot 91 and SCD. • In 2011 the event celebrated its 5th anniversary - nearly 250 riders participated and over $50k was raised from the ride and charity lunch. • $350,000 has been raised since 2006. • It is the third largest event for CFQ in the State • USC PR interns have been involved in the event since its inception. Most have gone on to gain full time employment shortly thereafter. • www.tourdekawana.com.au
