Our Business Expos support many hard-working charities
Every year our supported charities change. Each Expo the sponsors and key supporters for each region nominate five local charities to support. Throughout the Expo, we promote, raise awareness and generate donations for each charity’s noble cause. In years to come, we look forward to supporting many more dedicated charities across Brisbane, North Brisbane, Logan, North Gold Coast and South Gold Coast.
