Retail Food Group HeartKids Campaign August 2010
On behalf of Retail Food Group, I wanted to say how delighted and proud we are to be supporting such a worthy charity as HeartKids. We’ve been searching for over two years to find a charity special enough for us to really be able to make a difference. We can only imagine the pain & suffering you and your families must go through and if we can help in just a small way, we’ve done what we set out to achieve.
For the first time ever in August, Retail Food Group will band all of its 6 brands & stores together which is over 1100 outlets, in an effort to raise over a million dollars for HeartKids. Our goal is to drive valuable awareness of HeartKids to the Australian public and rally them to help join the fight to help you. All of our stores will be bursting with HeartKids Posters, Heart Balloons, Heart Bunting, our staff will be wearing Heart pins, our cabinets will be selling Heart products and donation tins will be on counters all in an effort to raise as much money as we can.
There will be television, radio commercials, press ads, we’ll be on Sunrise, The Morning Show plus we’ve sent PR releases out to the whole country encouraging them to run stories and hopefully a whole lot more as the month progresses.
Up to $1 from each HeartKids Combo will be donated to HeartKids in August through our different brands, so we’re urging Australians to think twice when they shop and buy their bread, coffees and treats from one of our retail outlets and join our campaign to help raise over $1 million dollars.
• Donut King: A regular coffee and heart donut
• Michel’s Patisserie: A small coffee and heart cupcake or heart lamington
• Brumby’s Bakeries: A sandwich loaf and four heart cupcakes
• Brumby’s Go!: A regular coffee and heart slice
• bb’s cafe: A small coffee and heart muffin
• Big Dad’s Pies: A pie and heart lamington
Please feel free to pop-into our stores and introduce yourselves in you are a Heart Family, I’m sure our franchisees would love to meet you! In closing, I hope you get to see some of the media coverage and enjoy a heart coffee or treat from one of our stores. Once again, it’s a privilege to be working with HeartKids and I hope this is just one of many campaigns to come.
Regards
Tracey Catterall
Chief Marketing Officer

Branch network/coffee mornings
To enable families to offer support to each other in their local community, HeartKids Victoria has established a number of branches within Victoria and Tasmania. Each branch has a co-ordinator who is happy to receive a call from you. Where possible, the co-ordinator may arrange regular coffee mornings and other support events. If a branch does not exist near your home, please contact the Support Administration Coordinator, Lynette, by phoning (03) 9333 1586 or email . She will keep your details and advise you when a local branch is formed in your area.
Why join a local branch?
- share information and experiences
- support each other
- know that you are not alone
- allow your child to grow up with other heart kids
- establish friendships with other HeartKid families
Some of our coffee mornings organised by our branches are held in play centres. The entry is free as HeartKids pays for your child and siblings to attend. Food and drinks are at your cost. Other coffee mornings are held in member’s homes or at parks.

HeartKids Auxiliary Tin Collection
The Royal Children’s Hospital Auxiliary have agreed to assist us in raising funds for our auxiliary account at the hospital by giving our members Good Friday Appeal collection tins with all funds going to the HeartKids Auxiliary account.
The tins will have the Good Friday Appeal sticker on them and will be numbered. The tins are available for any member, their family or friends who would like to place a tin in their place of business eg. small business reception, counter, kindergarten office, school office etc. Although the tins will be marked Good Friday Appeal, all the funds in these specifically numbered tins will go directly to the HeartKids Auxiliary account where the funds are spent in the cardiac ward at the hospital.
The tins can be distributed immediately yet MUST be returned before Good Friday.
The tins MUST NOT be used for door knocking, corner streets etc and MUST only be used in a place of business as the Good Friday Appeal Tins used on street corners and door knocking etc are distributed by the Good Friday Appeal Committee and are numbered differently. People requiring tins from them must register with them before being sent a tin.
The RCH Auxiliary will manage the whole project from beginning to end with all funds once counted before the Good Friday Appeal, deposited into the HeartKids Auxiliary account with members being advised of the amount raised.
If you are interested in obtaining a tin, please fill out the Expression of Interest Form and return to HeartKids either by fax or mail and we will pass on to the RCH Auxiliary office who will send the tin to you. Once your tin is full, you will need to contact the Auxiliary office so they can organise another tin to be distributed to you.
All tins MUST be returned to the Auxiliary office before Good Friday next year.
If you have any queries, please contact Sue Manson at the RCH Auxiliary office on 9345 5188.
