Celebrating a Decade of Success: The $100 MBA 10th Anniversary Fundraiser
To celebrate theΒ π 10th anniversary of The $100 MBA Show Podcast ποΈπ, we aim to raise a minimum of $10,000 for Hands Across the Water, supporting Peter Baines' Run to Remember. This milestone anniversary is not just a celebration of our podcast's journey but also an opportunity to give back and make a meaningful difference in the lives of children in need.
Hands Across the Water (Hands) started as a charity in response to the 2004 Boxing Day Tsunami, 20 years ago this December.Β
Peter Baines OAM was a NSW Police forensic investigator for 22 years and led the Australian and International teams for several months on deployment in Thailand in the identification of the 5,395 bodies that were recovered. On his last rotation, he met a group of children who had all lost their parents. This experience ignited his commitment to raise funds and build a home for these vulnerable children.
Today, Hands supports over 350 children across seven homes and projects in Thailand. The children who find refuge in their care do so out of necessity, often due to one of three heart-wrenching circumstances: they have no family to care for them, their family is unable to provide care, or they have been rescued from unsafe environments by the Police or Government.Β
At Hands, they believe every child deserves the chance to build a future filled with possibilities, opportunities, and dreams. Their mission extends beyond merely providing sustenance; they strive to help children recognise and seize the opportunities before them. Their vision is to break the cycle of poverty and create brighter futures and a life of choice for these children. At The $100 MBA we embrace this mission wholeheartedly.
Your support during the $100 MBA 10th Anniversary campaign will make a significant difference for the kids of Hands Across the Water. Your donation will help provide a higher standard of care, a chance at a better education, and a future that these children never envisioned.
By contributing, you are joining us in celebrating our 10-year journey and extending hope and opportunities to those who need it most. Together, we can create a brighter future and a life of choice for these children.Now that is something to celebrate!
