Fastway Couriers raising funds to fight domestic violence

Delivery network Fastway Couriers is raising funds for White Ribbon Australia, a charity dedicated to preventing violence against women. The charity holds an annual fundraising day – White Ribbon Day, which will be supported by Fastway Couriers Sydney this year though a White Ribbon Day BBQ, to be held at the Sydney depot on Friday, 24 November.
Both the human and canine White Ribbon Australia ambassadors, Tex O’Grady and Bundy, will be travelling from Grafton, New South Wales, to attend the event and O’Grady will speak to couriers about the importance of speaking up to raise awareness of violence against women.
David Ciantar, General Manager, Fastway Couriers, said the depot is very pleased to be supporting White Ribbon Australia.
“Fastway Couriers is committed to making a difference in the community and we’re so proud to be supporting White Ribbon Day this year,” said Ciantar. “With one in three women having experienced physical and/or sexual violence perpetrated by someone known to them, it’s a very serious issue facing our society. The work of White Ribbon Australia is so vital in not only supporting those impacted by domestic violence but also in preventing it from happening in the future.”
Fastway Courier Franchisee of West Ryde Sydney, Adrian Argeseanu, was reportedly instrumental in driving the fundraising for the event.
“White Ribbon Day is such an important cause to support,” said Argeseanu. “White Ribbon Australia provided my wife with amazing support during some very difficult times and our family is very grateful for this. We thank the other couriers and staff here in Sydney who are helping support this incredible cause with us this year.”
