AJF partners with Kids' Cancer Project
AJF Partnership Sydney will be working with The Kids' Cancer Project on building its brand strategy and identity as well as awareness, donations and fundraising campaigns.
The Kids Cancer Project CEO Owen Finegan said it has invested more than $25 million into childhood cancer research and is hoping to grow that figure with the help of AJF Partnership.
"We are very excited at the opportunity to join an equally passionate and enthusiastic team as AJF Partnership," Finegan said. "I know they will help us drive our strategy, grow our brand and to achieve our mission to cure kids' cancer and end suffering by supporting world class research."
AJF Partnership Sydney founding partner Digby Richards said: "Our team at AJF Sydney, with me, have been searching for a cuase that we collectively feel we can help.
"It's a real commitment and instead of spreading our energy too wide, we want to go deep over many years with The Kids' Cancer Project and help Owen and his team raise awareness to build funds to drive the right research to find a cure."
