The cheque was presented at their Eastland store, Victoria,which sold the most ribbons of any store around the country.
Suzanne Grae have been supporting the White Ribbon Campaign since 2008, and have implemented a number of awareness raising and fundraising initiatives in this time. These have included their "White Fashion Week"; donating all the profits from a range of Envirosax shopping bags; selling ribbons and wristbands in store; selling chocolates in their National and State offices; and a staff giving program.This incredible achievement in fundraising demonstrates the extent to which the White Ribbon Campaign aims have resonated with Suzanne Grae customers and staff alike. Suzanne Grae CEO, Carole Molyneux said "We are justifiably proud of our efforts to date which have exceeded our wildest expectations".The funds raised will be used to support the Ambassador Program, and the very successful Principals' Program, Breaking the Silence in Schools, which is currently being trialled in some NSW schools.White Ribbon would like to thank Suzanne Grae staff and their customers for their generous support, and for their ongoing commitment to ending violence against women in Australia. We look forward to continue working with Suzanne Grae to spread awareness of the White Ribbon Campaign nationally.________________________________________________2010 Ambassador of the Year Nominations now closed!Details of the finalists coming soon.

Tanya Plibersek, MP, Minister for Housing and Minister for the Status of Women, launched the National Survey on Community Attitudes to Violence Against Women 2009, in Melbourne on April 7, 2010.White Ribbon Ambassador and CEO of VicHealth, Todd Harper, spoke at the launch, emphasizing the important role men can play by talking about the issue with their peers, family and communities.Thank you to all of the White Ribbon Ambassadors who attended the launch. The strong White Ribbon presence received a special mention by Ms Plibersek on the day.The report commended White Ribbon’s positive engagement of men and boys in community action, and stated that "[e]ngaging men and boys in playing positive roles in ending violence against women is a crucial element of primary prevention”. Outlining opportunities for change, the survey found that:* Men and boys are more likely than women to hold violence-supportive attitudes.* Men and boys are key agents and stakeholders in the social change process required to reshape masculinity and its role in violence.* Men and boys can positively influence the attitudes and behaviours of other men and boys.You can download a PDF of the survey here.
