Wanna hang ya boss out to dry?
The Toowoomba Hospice is encouraging staff to hang their boss out on Friday, 31 May 2024, all for a good cause…
“We are asking businesses on the Darling Downs to “Hang their boss out to dry” by placing him or her in a scissor lift/cherry picker and raising it to the top,” Toowoomba Hospice Business Manager, Mark Munro said.
“The Boss then must raise a minimum of $5,000 from up in the air to be let back down.
“They can contact anyone they like to raise their money, sohopefully no-one will be left hanging!”
The Hospice has cared for over 2,000 clients with the highest standard of care to all, however, to maintain this level of support, they rely heavily on the financial assistance of the community to fund an operating budget of $2.35 million dollars per annum.
Just over half a million dollars has been raised over the last 11 years and Mr Munro hopes this year to raise at least $100,000.
As an extra incentive, the Boss who raises the most money gets to host the 2025 Hang Ya Boss Out To Dry at their workplace.
The event will be held on Friday 31st May 2024, from 6am to 9am at the Newlands Group Head office at 6 Ann Street, Toowoomba.
Mr Munro said you can be guaranteed that your time and money will be going to a great cause.
