LAST Friday Carnival Australia staff were invited to “dress down to stress down” to raise funds for Lifeline, with ceo Ann Sherry cruising the office to select the most creative sleepwear outfits. Lifeline is a key charity supported by Carnival, which supports the crisis counselling service with donations of surplus items from ships when they go into dry dock. Sherry said that nearly $140,000 had been raised in this way to help fund Lifeline – and on the day colourful Lifeline slippers were also on sale at $25 a pair, with Carnival matching staff donations dollar for dollar. The company also donated $5 for each employee taking part in a series of workshops on meditation, yoga and laughter. “It was a fun day with a serious intent to support Lifeline’s community work in crisis counselling,” Sherry said. Pictured above are the winners heading off to bed: Rosalino Gonzales, Elise Wellfare, Nicole Huby, Antonia Papadopoulos and Rachel Kenrick with Ann Sherry. |
