GordonCare received an extremely generous donation today from the Robinson/Slama family - Julianne, Rick, Ashley, Skye, Kirsty and Adam. 
Julianne, a former GordonCare employee, together with her family and friends, donated over 100 wrapped Christmas gifts in memory of her young daughter Chanel.
The gifts will be distributed to the children and young people in our programs at Christmas time and each of them will be touched by Chanel's memory.
We were overwhelmed and touched at the generosity of this donation and we thank Julianne, Rick, Ashley, Skye, Kirsty and Adam for this extraordinary gift. 
It is our pleasure to name our Christmas wishing tree this year in honour of Chanel.
Those who would like to donate to Chanel's Christmas wishing tree can visit GordonCare's Head Office at 1125 Nepean Highway Highett (next door to Officeworks).]]></description>

 GordonCare is pleased to announce that we are the proud recipients of a $4000 grant from the Kingston Charitable Trust.
