Thick as Thieves Raise $500K For Charity. WOW

Melbourne music touring and events agency Thick as Thieves is set to celebrate an extraordinary philanthropic milestone this weekend when they surpass $500,000 in funds raised for The Fred Hollows Foundation and its work to end avoidable blindness. 

Led by founding director Mike Toner, the Thick as Thieves team has raised $496,000 for The Foundation since 2011 by teaming up with institutional venue Revolver and other promoters/partners to run music events donating proceeds from the door, a bar percentage, artist donations and personal donation. 

“Our door entry is usually around $25, which is how little it costs The Foundation to restore sight in countries', Mike Toner explained. 'I think that people love coming to our events, not only because they have a great time, but because they know they can effectively restore the sight of one person by simply walking through the door."

Amazing work! Hopefully this will inspire many others to be a little more altruistic with their time...
