In March 2022 Smitten was the Gold sponsor for a Kari Foundation event in Queensland raising money for indigenous flood victims. When the opportunity to be involved came about we jumped at the chance to help. Joshua Watson, present Ernie Dingo (and yes we were a little star struck ?) and the Kari Foundation with a cheque to go directly to helping out the flood stricken.
It’s gives us great pleasure to be able to give back in a real sense. To provide financial aid directly when and where it’s needed!
We must mention the Kari Foundation and applaud their endeavours in helping indigenous communities.
