Virgin Donates

[wallacej]

Flight SYD-MEL last night, the FA announced that they would be taking donations from passengers, and that Virgin would match all donations dollar for dollar. There was no pressure. Hostie walked down the aisle and of course many people put into the bag.

I will be curious to see the success... good luck, and well done

I think I saw something on another thread this afternoon about them already having raised $100,000 this week from donations from passengers and staff etc.

edited to add;yes,found it here.

"Hotdog stands will be set up at the event and all proceeds from the day will be combined with the $100,000+ already raised by staff, crew and Virgin Blue Guests over the past week via in-flight and office collections"
