ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ESTATES, LEGACIES ANDTRUSTS YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2012

Remembering our Queensland children in yourWill is a very special way to pledge your continuing support for BUSHkids’ service and will remain a living legacy of “ I bequeath free of all duties and charges the sum of $ ........... to the Royal Queensland Bush Children’s Health Scheme for the general charitable purpose thereof and I declare that the receipt of the Secretary or the Honorary Treasurer of the said Scheme shall be sufficient discharge to my executors.” Your Solicitor or Trustee Company will alter the form of wording when the bequest is for a share or residue of your estate. SPONSORSHIP Corporate, club or individual sponsorship of specific projects or equipment and resources is an excellent way to ensure a continuity of service for country children. Please contact our Brisbane office or your nearest Centre (details on page 1) for more information on current projects.
