Catwalk for Cancer has also been given a major fundraising boost thanks to the AMP Foundation, which has offered to dollar match 50 per cent of money raised on the day, up to $10,000, through its Community Fundraising Program.

AMP Financial Planner Ross Hultgren, Managing Director of Chapman Welsh Financial Services, said that especially in these difficult economic times, AMP Foundation's Community Fundraising Program was making a real difference in local communities.

“I’m delighted that with the support of AMP, we are helping to continue Barwon Health Foundation’s great work in raising funds for vital health services in our region,” Mr Hultgren said. “It gives us great pleasure to give something back to such a worthy cause in the community where we live and work.”
