The goal is to raise $500,000 to increase research staff and speed up the research.

Last year’s winners of the Karen Campaign – Kells the Lawyers, Sparke Helmore, and Baker & McKenzie – extend the challenge to other law firms to participate in the Karen Campaign in 2006 to raise funds for ovarian cancer research. All three firms are joining the fundraising effort and hope others in the legal profession will also support the quest to find an effective diagnostic test for ovarian cancer.

Karen Campaign

Congratulations to the winners of the 2005 Karen Campaign!

Kells the Lawyers responded to the challenge put out by Sparke Helmore and Baker & McKenzie and were the highest fundraising law firm for the Karen Campaign. They won the Emirates, business class return trip for two to Auckland. Sparke Helmore were not far behind and took out the most glamorous prize of $4,000 worth of jewellery form Jeff Einstein Jewellery of Double and Westfield. Baker & McKenzie were awarded the stylish Raymond Weil watches for their innovative Eye Toy event.

We would like to extend a big thank you to all those involved who worked hard to raise funds. Each firm came up with different ideas to raise the funds which proves there is no limit to the imagination.

Kells organised a Christmas in July luncheon and a monster raffle. Sparke Helmore followed up their mailout to the NSW legal profession for us, by holding a trivia night, a rowing challenge and a monster raffle as well as workplace giving. Baker & McKenzie held a pool night, an Eye Toy event (virtual reality), a raffle and a regular Friday charity collection.

The event raised $30,000 for our research team at the Garvan and all three firms have pledged their support for next year. Our goal next year is to increase this amount so that we can add to our team at the Garvan.

Thank you to our sponsors for the Karen Campaign: Emirates, Jeff Einstein Jewellery and Raymond Weil. Their support for this great cause is appreciated.

The big launch for the 2006 Karen Campaign will be held in conjunction with our cocktails on the GO on Wednesday 15th March 6:30pm at Doltone House. Campaign entry forms and invitations will be mailed to law firms and both will be available on our web site at www.gofund.org.au.

Thank you to our sponsors:
