Dressing casual every other Friday has provided great rewards for CQUniversity's Marketing Directorate and their chosen charity.

The group raised $182 as part of their Casual for a Cause project, which has now been committed to the CQUni Cares fund.

Director of the Marketing Directorate Susanne Schick said the group enjoyed the opportunity to go casual and to donate to such a worthwhile cause.

At a morning tea last week, Director of the Office of Development and Graduate Relations Suzi Blair commended the group on their choice of charity, saying that the CQUni Cares fund was a fabulous way for CQUniversity employees, students and the community to support financially disadvantaged students.

The CQUni Cares fund has been established as an endowment fund. This means only the interest from the gross capital will be used to provide financial help to students, allowing the capital amount to grow and to benefit an increasing number of students for many years in the future.

Thanks to a generous bequest to the University from past student and long time supporter Mrs Moya Gold, and a commitment from the Vice-Chancellor to match contributions to the fund, CQUni Cares will help an increasing number of students each year.
