WFN Auction & Raffle 2016
For 12 years, World Freight Network has been hosting its Annual Meetings throughout the world. Travelling from one continent to the next, the WFN Meeting started in 2005 in Thailand, then UAE (2006), Vietnam (2007), Athens (2008), Cambodia (2009), Dominican Republic (2010), India (2011), Turkey (2012), Malaysia (2013) , Panama (2014), China (2015 and this year (2016) in South Africa.
In every country the Network frequents, WFN is proud to raise funds for local charities. This year was no exception, a charity which helps destitute children was chosen, along with the Reeva Rebecca Steenkamp Foundation. Watch the video to see some the donation being presented to the Care Welfare South Africa Kempton Park charity:
Dalia Terret manages the fundraising and is excellent in her role. Essentially, raffle tickets are purchased and at the same time as contributing to charity, the WFN Members are able to win some wonderful prizes.
An example of the generous spirit of World Freight Network's Members, is that the majority of the prizes are provided by the Members themselves; they take the time to choose something significant from their country and to bring it to the event.
Additionally the hotel provides a prize of two free nights' stay and WFN Founder, Kelly Bunyan, contributes the gift of a free pass to the next year's Meeting.
Adding to this, Tim Taylor from WWLP in USA and Aidan Magee from LinC Freight in the UK, host an auction. This is where the big bucks are raised.
In just 24 hours and with the generous nature of WFN Members, together they managed to raise $4500 which was FANTASTIC.
WFN Managing Director, Kelly Bunyan, states:
"I am so proud of our Members. Year after year, we manage to raise thousands of dollars for less privileged people than ourselves. We are blessed with good health and fortunate enough to be able to travel throughout the world. As a result, it is right and proper that we contribute to the people in need in the local community. I hope that WFN's contribution can help reach more children in need of their generous, kind help."
