Convicts for a Cause fundraiser

The Rotary Clubs of Perth and Mt Lawley are set to host their third annual Convicts for a Cause fundraiser in November and aim to more than double the money raised in 2011.

Cystic Fibrosis-Western Australia and Liver Foundation of WA will be the benefactors of the fundraising mission, which organisers hope will raise $100,000 by sending people to jail at Fremantle Prison and having their networks post bail to release them, a jump from last year’s efforts of $44,000.

Foodbank chief executive Greg Hebble and St Vincent de Paul chief executive Mark Fitzpatrick will take part in the event.
