QBD Donates $20 000 To JDRF
QBD The Bookshop (QBD) donated $20,000 to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) last week, raised from reusable environmental bag sales within their 45 stores across Australia.
“We are extremely happy to be working with JDRF to fund essential research towards type 1 diabetes,” Carly Walker, Marketing Manager of QBD stated. “Type 1 diabetes affects over 122,300 Australians and their families and friends.”
Glen Harriss, Development Manager for JDRF in Queensland and the Northern Territory has revealed how beneficial this donation is to assist in their mission to find a cure for type 1 diabetes and its complications.
“JDRF delivers innovative events and campaigns that generate funds to invest in type 1 diabetes research. These funds will be used to support the continued development of research and technology, such as the artificial pancreas which could transform the lives of individuals with type 1 diabetes.”
This fund raising campaign has been extremely successful and is expected to accelerate over the New Year.
“We are a rapidly growing company and we hope that this increase will reflect in the funds our customers help raise for JDRF.” Carly Walker stated. “These bags have been very popular with customers as they are convenient, inexpensive and allow customers to contribute regularly to a great cause.”
The success of QBD The Bookshop’s reusable bag campaign leads the way for many future donations.
“JDRF is extremely grateful for the support from QBD The Bookshop and QBD customers, and looks forward to a long partnership together.” Glen Harriss announced.
