The 5th of 5th is the day that 5c piece got its value back with the launch of YGAP’s 5cent campaign at Gwanda, YGAP HQ.
With over 120 people joining us for this exciting launch, the vibe in the room was electric – if you weren’t there, you really missed out.
Three of our marvelous and supportive celebrity ambassadors, Kate Peck, Andy Murphy and Bridgette Duclos, showed their undying support for the 5cent campaign and YGAP with speeches that demonstrated their commitment to the cause.
Would you bother to bend over in public for one? Drop one into the tip jar at your favourite café? Put them in your piggy bank?
Let’s face it – 5 cent coins serve little purpose these days, apart from bulking up your wallet. That is until YGAP launches its 5cent campaign on 5/5/12.
With over $150 million dollars worth of 5 cent coins in circulation, YGAP will harness the collective value of Australia’s small change to make a big change globally.
Ygap’s Christmas Party took place on the first weekend of March in Sorrento. This incongruously named ‘Christmas party’ allowed volunteers, both old and new, to take time out to celebrate their hard work during the year and let their hair down. The weekend kicked off with an important meeting around the dinner table with our Kwencher beers – chatting about a very special ygap initiative to grace our shores shortly, (stay tuned for more info!) and concluded a few hours laterwith Gabe asking where the spa was at!
A 5c coin may not mean much in your wallet, but there’s $150 million worth of them in Australia. From May 5, for 5 weeks, YGAP is collecting thousands of the little guys to support projects in Australia, Rwanda, Ghana, Cambodia and Bangladesh.
