These organisations were very excited about the amounts being granted to them.B Upon being advised that Apollo Bay P-12 College will be receiving a grant of $16,500 the Principal, Tiffany Holt said b To be receiving this amount is just unique and extraordinary.B A very big thank you to the Apollo Bay & District Health Foundation for making this possible for our school!b
Health Foundation Chairman, Andrew (Buck) Buchanan said b We are absolutely delighted with this result and hope that not only will it benefit the programs of our local not-for-profit organisations, but also increase the capacity of our community to work together towards shared goals.B Of course, none of this would have been possible without the generosity of our major sponsors, Bendigo Bank and the Apollo Bay News Sheet, and the support of SLM Law and Community Care Chemistb .
