A Future2 "tree of life" raises $18,900 from AMP and Hillross planners
A Future2 ‘tree of life’ ended the three day AMP and Hillross annual conference (Melbourne 19-21 January) covered with leaves, each one the commitment of a financial planner to support Future2. Their contributions totalled $18,900.
Inspired by words from AMP director Steve Helmich – also Chair of the Future2 Foundation – the planners placed their commitments in the form of leaves onto the ‘tree’ in the conference forum.
“Each leaf is a commitment by a planner to support Future2 and, through the foundation, to make a difference to disadvantaged young Australians”, Mr Helmich said. “It was a call to action, underlining the responsibility we all have to help those less fortunate than we are. The message struck a chord and we are delighted with the response.”
