In 2012 The Good Guys were our FIRST Major Sponsor.
Dubbo previous store owners Rodney and Danielle Sparrow were very passionate and proud about our project. They relocated to Sydney in 2014. New Manager Kathy Webb continued their sponsorship. We thank them for their generosity and ask you all to support their store. |
The Good Guys launched the new Local Giving Program Token Box in stores, which asks customers to ‘have their say’ and vote for which local community organisation they would like their donation from each transaction, to go towards.
In Dubbo the Ear Bus Project token box has been VERY VERY popular with over $12 000 being donated from 2012-2016.

A huge thank you to Dubbo South Rotary. After providing a large audience of interested Rotarians with an update of how the project is going we gladly accepted $5000 to help pay for our audiology equipment. South Rotary run an adventure Destination Outback every second year. Hearing Support Teacher Leah Graham & her husband Paul attended over 10 years ago. Was great to see her welcomed by some others who were on the same trip. |
Front Row Australia donated $8000 in 2012
NSW Front Row Business Manager, Allyson Young, travelled to Dubbo to attend the Gala Ball on 10th November 2012 to announce the news. 85 % of Schools and Child Care Centres in Dubbo have Front Row sound systems installed in their classrooms to help their children hear accurately, so, it makes sense for Front Row to be a sponsor. Both organisations are passionate about improving childrens hearing in the classroom www.gofrontrow.com
