Those other crazy Melburnian financial planning bunch, Financial Foundations Australia (FFA), are upping the stakes on the auctioneering front at their an-nual dig at Chaucers in Canterbury.
Forget OST keyrings, these guys have got Wayne Carey signed football jumpers and Mark Taylor signed cricket bats to flog to the highest bidder. The group reckons it can rake in about $20,000 when it puts the word out to about 300 of their fi-nancial planning clients of the shindig.
FFA is putting up the dosh for the bash. But there is a catch. Each attendee is expected to cough up a tax effective $10 for the Make-A-Wish foundation. FFA will match every $10 donated.
FFA also reckon if you get the punters in and show them a good time, the clients will bring their mates back to their planning crew.
The things we do for referrals.
