Legacy week has been Australia’s iconic fundraising campaign since 1942. It is also known for its Badge Day and the Legacy badges offered as a token of appreciation for the donation made by the public.
Legacy Week is the annual national appeal to raise awareness and funds for the families of our deceased Veterans. It is held in towns and cities big and small across Australia and supported by young and old.
The funds raised from this year’s Legacy Week Appeal will help Legacy continue to assist 115,000 widows and 1,900 children and people with disabilities Australia-wide, with essential services such as, counselling, special housing, medical, advocacy and social support.
Public support will also help Legacy nurture children’s education, by contributing towards their school fees, books, uniforms, and recreational activities to aid their self development and confidence.
There are thousands of Australian Defence Force personnel currently deployed overseas. Legacy stands ready to assist their families should the worst happen.
Help keep the promise by becoming a volunteer or donor now. All funds raised will help continue our essential role in the community. Sunday 29 August to Saturday 4 September is Legacy Week and Badge Day is Friday 3 September. Contact your local Legacy group for details.
