Holland America backs Cancer Council

Holland America backs Cancer Council

On Wednesday February 11, Holland America Line hosted a fundraiser luncheon aboard ms Amsterdam for Cancer Council New South Wales.

The Sydney lunch was one of the chapter partners in the line’s On Deck for a Cause fundraising program that supports Cancer Council Australia and five other global cancer organisations.

The ship is in the middle of its Grand World Voyage and visited six Australian ports, including overnight calls at Sydney, Adelaide and Fremantle.

Following the luncheon, guests attended a presentation about On Deck for a Cause in the ship’s main show lounge and then were invited to tour the ship.

“Cancer is a global disease, and we’re honoured to support an organisation such as Cancer Council NSW that greatly helps those affected,” Holland America Line’s president Orlando Ashford said.

“We are proud to join in the fight for a cure through community support and fundraising on every sailing in partnership with our guests from around the world through our On Deck for a Cause shipboard program.”
