The i Group would like to thank all of you who supported the StreetSmart campaign in late 2006.
The total money raised was $133,450 in the 6 weeks prior to Christmas.
That's an increase of over 40%.
Victorian patrons donated more than $83,000 and in their first year NSW raised a fantastic $31,250. It's a long way from the $16,000 that they raised in the first year 2003.
