Over the last 11 years, Hire A Hubby has raised nearly $1m for the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia, thanks to its franchisees.
More than 300 of its franchisees have supported the fight against prostate cancer which affects one in five Australian men. In 2013 they donated $1 from every invoice; last year this doubled to a $2 donation from every invoice.
Hire A Hubby CEO, Brendan Green, said the fundraising initiative started after two franchisees were diagnosed with prostate cancer.
“It was a defining moment and it occurred to me that most of our Hubbies were in the age group of being at risk of prostate cancer,” he said.
“Hitting the one-million-dollar mark means a lot to us, knowing we are giving men and their loved ones a fighting chance.”
PCFA’s CEO, Anne Savage, said “Hubbies make a remarkable contribution to our mission each year, raising significant awareness and funds,” she said.
“The contribution Brendan and his team make is an incredible investment in the health of our community – we’re grateful to the Hubbies team and would love to see homeowners getting on board to support Hire A Hubby and encourage action on prostate cancer.”
