2024 Boot Bash provided more that $170,000 in top-ups for CEF students!

Students supported by CEF this year have been given a boost, with a total of $173,775 paid to them to help tackle the cost-of-living crisis thanks to the inaugural Boot Bash campaign and a significant philanthropic contribution from an anonymous donor.

A 15% top-up was paid to students based on the grants they received from their local CEF foundations using funds raised from the Boot Bash in March.

CEF CEO Wendy Mason said the additional funds would help students cover their educational expenses in the face of rising costs and help them continue their studies, traineeships and apprenticeships.
