$87,900 raised for Ovarian Cancer Research

In combined efforts with the very generous earthmoving industry, Digga Australia together with Kanga Loaders, so far were able to raise $87,900 in donations this year to support the Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation, with another charity loader up for auction this month.

The Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation was chosen as a partner charity of Digga, a foundation dedicated to developing and implementing an early detection program and improving the mortality rate, management and long-term survival of women with ovarian cancer. As the company suffered a big loss in June 2018, when Suzie Wright, CEO and Managing Director of Digga Australia and Kanga Loaders, passed away after a long struggle with a rare form of ovarian cancer, this is a very close cause to our hearts.

As the major sponsor of the Diesel Dirt and Turf Annual Charity Golf Day, which was held on the 15th of March this year, Digga, together with many sponsors and supporters of the industry, was able to raise donations for the OCRF. More than 130 golfers teed off at the event and $32,500 were raised on the day, which was then matched by the very generous family of Suzie Wright, allowing donations to be raised to $65,000.

A mini loader in the colour of the charity was then auctioned off at the National Diesel Dirt and Turf Expo, Australia's Largest Construction Industry Expo on the 4th of May, allowing donation to rise to $87,900 for this year!

In order to reach a goal of raising more donations for the charity, Kanga Loaders is auctioning off a second charity loader online at www.givergy.com.au/kanga, which will run until 12pm on the 23rd of May 2019.
