BENEDICT EMPLOYEE’S LONGSTANDING COMMITMENT TO GENEROSITY

The Benedict Group’s recent donation to Cancer Council NSW showed their commitment to a cancer-free future through a generous donation to Cancer Council, Australia’s leading cancer charity. This initiative, driven by a long-serving staff member, highlights the company’s dedication to supporting vital causes.

Lyn Wadsworth, a weighbridge administrator at the Menangle Quarry, celebrates an incredible 40 years of service with Benedict while also marking her retirement. Known for her unwavering generosity, Lyn has previously supported charities such as the Heart Foundation, Movember, and various children’s foundations. This year, in honour of Benedict’s 59th anniversary as well as her retirement, she embraced a charity theme, and together with the Menangle team contributed prizes for a raffle that was held on 14 February.

“I chose The Cancer Council because cancer affects nearly everyone, either through personal experience or the loss of a loved one.” says Lyn.  “I want to thank everyone who purchased a raffle ticket and donated.  It just goes to show that even in tough financial times, people are always willing to support a worthy cause.”

With 2,296 tickets sold, the event raised substantial funds which the Benedict BeneFactor program, matched dollar for dollar and a total of $8,668 was donated to the Cancer Council.

The BeneFactor program seeks opportunities to support organisations that benefit the wider community with a focus on supporting areas such as community health and wellbeing.

“BeneFactor not only provides funding and assistance to worthy causes but also empowers our employees to play an active role in giving back” says Dana Dupere, Director, Benedict. “Through the program, staff members are given the opportunity to nominate charities they are passionate about and make a meaningful impact.”
