Property Industry Foundation raises in excess of $90,000 for youth homelessness

The Property Industry Foundation (PIF) held their annual Charity Sailing Day Friday 24 March raising more than $90,000 to go towards building hoes for homeless youth.

The event had over 400 sailors and 38 yachts.

Daryl Browning, Victorian Chairman of the Property Industry Foundation said these vital funds raised by the property industry will help thousands of young Victorians rebuild their lives and plan their futures.

"These funds will be distributed to our beneficiaries charities Lighthouse Foundation and Whitelion/Open Family Australia with industry members of PIF constructing these homes,” he said.

John Bertrand, event patron, met with the young guests who are involved in the charity programs and spoke with them about the experience aiming to inspire a positive change in their lives.

"The Property Industry Foundation has done a great job in supporting the endeavours to help homeless young people,” says Mr Bertrand.

Property Industry Foundation’s Charity Sailing Day was sponsored by Brookfield.
