Fundraiser coordinator Karen Reynolds explained that funds are raised with the sale of chocolates and drinks and through special barbecues throughout the year.

"Our support for the Childhood Cancer Support Inc. (formerly Children's Leukaemia) began in 2002. Funds raised including 2007 are approx. $7200," she said.

"There has been great support from others outside DTLS who have joined and left the Southern Annexe including Payroll, Student System Upgrade Project, AIS. These teams still support the cause by attending fundraising barbecues throughout the year.

"This year is the largest donation we have made - $2200. We normally raise $1000 a year.

"This year we have joined with Queensland Rail to donate a total of $3200 - $1500 from the Southern Annexe staff new and old, $1000 from QR and a special donation of $700 from staff of the Student System Upgrade Project."
