The profits from this year's Courage Month will be donated to The Cathy Freeman Foundation. Gold Medallist in the 400m at the Sydney 2000 Olympics, Cathy Freeman was born in Mackay, Queensland. Her mother is of the Kuku Yalanji people of far north Queensland and along with her grandmother was born in the Indigenous community of Palm Island. Her father was born in Woorabinda and is of the the Burri Gubba people of central Queensland.
Cathy Freeman Foundation programs broaden horizons and support Indigenous students to experience their full potential in school. The Foundation delivers education programs that are designed to travel the journey of a child’s education from Pre-Prep through to Year 12. The programs aim to improve school attendance and ultimately increase Year 12 attainment and are effective in extending the children’s horizons and future opportunities.
