| Donate your left over currency notes to the Cancer Council |
|
Travelex in Brookvale and Wollongong in partnership with the Cancer Council have launched an initiative to raise funds to go towards a cure for cancer. By donating left over currency notes you can help us raise funds for the Cancer Council. We will convert all valid notes to Au We are looking for all donations – big or small. Many of us have some left over currency lying around in a drawer from trips we took ages ago, why donate it before it goes out of date. For example if you only have a few dollars left from a trip to the US, some Egyptian Pounds that you didn’t manage to spend on souvenirs or the funds that you have left on your cash passport card that you didn’t quite manage to spend - every donation counts. Anything we can convert to Australian Dollars we can donate – we can purchase over 50 currencies at present. You don’t need to do the full amount you have – for example you might have 50 British pounds left but only want to donate 10 pounds and change the other 40. We can also accept foreign currency cheques and traveller’s cheques – we just need to wait for them to clear before we donate the funds. As we don’t charge any commission every cent will go to the Cancer Council. For more information on the great work of the Cancer Council visit their website. Travelex in Brookvale and Wollongong are registered community fundraisers with the Cancer Council. Our main collection method is in our stores but we also have options if you would like to have collections at an event you are running or at your business. See below for some ideas. If you wish to get involved please email us in Wollongong or Brookvale. |
