An additional donation by Special Guests, HLPFI and a very generous gesture by the Twitter Competition winner, Patrick Lo of Canaan Shipping whereby he kindly donated his 1st prize of a PCN Annual Fee (worth $1400) to the fundraising campaign brought the total to $4595.

The donation will help towards working with child refugees around the world - from Lebanon to Jordan, Greece to Finland. Keeping children warm by providing warm clothes, blankets and fuel for heating. The charity also distribute food, water, blankets and tents to refugee families.

Rachel Humphrey, CEO of PCN said "Every year our Members raise funds for charity and it is important that we carefully select the recipient each year as we really want our money to make a difference. We are aware that many agencies and projects survive through charitable donations and they can’t help others without people helping them."
