Telecom Fiji Donates $5000 to Frank Hilton Wheelbarrow Race

Telecom Fiji has donated $5000 and entered a team for the 2024 Frank Hilton Organisation Charity Wheelbarrow Race.

This year’s race will take place on July 20, at Suva’s Albert Park.

The Amazing Wheelbarrow Race is an annual fundraiser which aims to raise crucial funds to provide detection and intervention and services to children with disabilities in Fiji.

The Frank Hilton Organisation provides essential services including early detection and intervention for children with disabilities through a multidisciplinary, family-centred approach.

“We thank the Frank Hilton Organisation for allowing us to contribute to this very worthy cause,” said Telecom Fiji’s chief executive e officer, Charles Goundar.

“As a local company, we have a responsibility to give back to our community, especially during trying times where many Fijians are struggling financially. This event is one of the many ways in which Telecom gives back to the community.”

Sureni Perera, chief executive officer of the Frank Hilton Organisation, expressed her gratitude.

“We are deeply appreciative of Telecom Fiji’s continued support and generosity,” she said.

“Their involvement not only helps raise vital funds but also brings joy and excitement to our event, inspiring others in the community to participate and contribute to our cause.

“Team Telecom has won the award for Best Dressed Team for the past seven consecutive years. We sincerely hope they will bring on the same excitement and style to the race this year as well.”
