WE DID IT! Shaw and Partners is delighted to announce that we have reached our fundraising goal of $100,000 for Connor’s Run.
 
Unfortunately, due to COVID-19 lockdowns and restrictions in Melbourne, the event was unable to proceed. Connor’s Run Your-Way-Any-Day, however, could not be cancelled and neither could our spirit and drive to raise vital funds for the cruel disease that is brain cancer.
 
This year, Shaw and Partners had a team of 36 runners who fundraised an incredible $101,448 for the Robert Connor Dawes (RCD) Foundation by walking, running, cycling and even swimming various distances during the month of September, all in the name of Connor and the brave kids fighting brain cancer.
 
A special thank you to a very long list of contributors, big and small, as well as the Shaw and Partners #Foundation and Board of Directors, who helped us achieve this mighty total for the Robert Connor Dawes Foundation. We are truly blown away by your tremendous support and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
 
Shaw and Partners is proud to be the leading corporate fundraiser for 2021 Connor’s Run and looks forward to continuing our involvement in their 10th year anniversary in 2022. Together we can change the odds for young people.
 
The Robert Connor Dawes Foundation was set up in memory of young Connor who died from this shocking disease just shy of his 18th birthday. Funds donated go towards the fight against paediatric brain cancer, which is the #1 disease killer of young people. In total the RCD Foundation has raised over $7.8m since its first event eight years ago, including $2.0m raised for this year’s event so far. For more information visit https://rcdfoundation.org
