1000kms4kids welcomes IGA (Tasmanian Independent Retailers) as our first platinum sponsor for 2010


It is great to see a great Tasmanian organization such as Tasmanian Independent Retailers getting on board with us in the inaugural year of what we are sure will become a fantastic annual event.
We are very grateful for the support given to date in helping us achieve our goal of raising $100,000 for our two charities.

IGA Supermarkets

IGA Supermarkets throughout Tasmania are extremely proud of their association with 1000kms4kids 2010 and its fundraising initiatives to provide much needed financial support and assistance to both Cerebral Palsy Tasmania and Ronald McDonald House in Hobart.

Both Cerebral Palsy Tasmania and Ronald McDonald House in Hobart provide much needed support and assistance to so many within our community and are truly worthy of the benefits that will follow as a result of this fundraising initiative, in many respect they are local Tasmanian Hero's.

IGA Supermarkets is privileged to be involved in this event that has so much community support and involvement.
