Toll remote Logistics recognised for Support of the Defence Lake Attack Charity Events Toll Remote Logistics has been recognised for its continued support of the Defence Lake Attack Fun Run / Walk and Charity Ball events. The Defence Lake Attack is a series of three events, run by the australian Defence Force (aDF) and the Lord Mayor’s Charitable Foundation, that bring together Victorian Defence, the local community and sponsors to raise funds for charity. In 2010 the charities that were supported were: Legacy – Caring for Families of Deceased Veterans Kidsafe – Child Accident Prevention Foundation of Australia Redkite – Cancer Fund for Children, and Compassionate Friends Victoria – supporting Bereaved Parents and Siblings. Toll Remote Logistics, formerly as PDL Toll, was one of three main sponsors and has supported the event for the last five years. As a major sponsor, this support included a donation of A$20,000 and some Toll horsepower to add to the spectacle on race day. On the day of the fun run / walk, the Toll HRT V8 display car driven by Mark Leatham (Commonwealth Program Manager at Toll Remote Logistics, not Toll HRT’s latest champion driver!) was a real hit with young and old alike, as was the Helicorp Bell 206 Long Ranger helicopter flown by pilot Roger de Souza. The Charity Ball was held at the Windsor Hotel, Melbourne on 2 October 2010 and hosted by Air Vice Marshall Margaret Staib Commander Joint Logistics. In attendance at the Charity Ball was Mark Leatham, Commonwealth Program Manager representing Toll Remote Logistics and Warming up for the Global Corporate Challenge You may remember in the last issue of Toll Today we announced the Toll Group’s winning Global Corporate Challenge team for 2010.

Starting on 19 May, the 16 week long Global Corporate Challenge will see thousands of workplace teams from around the world take part in a bid to walk more and improve their fitness. With benefits such as reduced workplace sickness, improved individual wellbeing and higher workplace morale, the challenge is a really positive thing for you and your team to get involved in. Plus the improvements to the challenge this year will make it even easier to take part. With a brand new iPhone application, challengers can update their progress on the go, and use 4 Peter McKenzie General Manager of Helicorp and Aircraft Services. During the evening, auctions were held to raise more funds, including a scenic flight in the Bell 206, which raised more than A$600. The Charity Ball was a great success and at the end of the night the total funds raised were A$177,000. This was then divided equally and presented to each of the charities as well as glass sculptures of appreciation that were presented to each of the major sponsors. Toll Remote Logistics works with the ADF providing comprehensive logistics support to Operation ASTUTE in Timor Leste as well as ships’ husbandry for naval vessels and AQIS cleaning of Defence assets, such as military vehicles returning from overseas.
