What we need from you
Australian Unity & EnergyAustralia Invites You
To celebrate National Reconciliation Week 2017, Australian Unity and EnergyAustralia invite colleagues and families to the screening of ‘Running to America’ to support the wonderful work of the Indigenous Marathon Foundation.
The Indigenous Marathon Foundation (IMF) uses the marathon as a vehicle to promote healthy lifestyles in Indigenous communities, and enables Indigenous people to gain skills, inspiration and confidence through their programs.
‘Running to America’ is a documentary featuring three Aboriginal runners, who were among the first participants in the health and active lifestyles program of the IMF as they train for the New York Marathon – the largest marathon in the world.
Following the film there will be a panel discussion featuring the IMF Founder and Australian running champion Robert De Castella and two IMF Alumni – they will be sharing their experiences and impact of the IMF.
We encourage all staff across Australian Unity and EnergyAustralia to support our organisations’ commitment to reconciliation by attending this event.
Your ticket includes a fantastic panel discussion and canapés following the screening. Additionally, drinks can be purchased pre and post the event at the ACMI Bar and Cafe
