Pamela Lee FCA, a dedicated team member at CA ANZ has taken the lead in championing the 'Everybody Counts' workplace giving program since 2006. Her commitment to corporate social responsibility and employee engagement led her to explore various charitable activities, fundraising events, and volunteer opportunities to support nine charity partners across Australia and New Zealand including the National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF). Pamela's efforts to support the NBCF have included organising four annual fundraising events and significantly increasing participation in charitable events.
Her leadership in the Mother's Day Classic alone raised $10,000. One of the volunteers from CA ANZ expressed their gratitude, stating, 'I want to take a moment to express my heartfelt thanks for hosting us at NBCF premises. It was an incredibly rewarding experience to contribute to such a meaningful cause, and your warm hospitality made the day even more special. It was an absolute honour to be a part of such a noble cause, even in a small way. I look forward to any future opportunities to assist and support the vital work you’re doing.'
Achievements
Pamela Lee's exceptional leadership and dedication to the 'Everybody Counts' program have led to significant results. Since the partnership with NBCF started in 2010, the program has raised over $300,000, with more than 100 employees participating in various events. In 2024, She helped facilitate a cause related marketing initiative whereby CA ANZ members were given the opportunity to donate $9 to represent the 9 Australians who die from breast cancer every day, at the time of their membership renewal, further integrating charitable giving into the organisation’s culture.
The annual fundraising events and increased employee engagement have strengthened CA ANZ's culture of giving and enhanced its reputation as a socially responsible entity. These achievements highlight the profound impact of Pamela's commitment to workplace giving and corporate social responsibility.
