Bidfood and the
Daniel Morcombe Foundation.
Making Australia a safer place for children.
At Bidfood, we understand how important it is to keep children in our local communities safe. That’s why we have been proud partners of the Daniel Morcombe Foundation since 2010.
Who are the Daniel Morcombe Foundation?
The Daniel Morcombe Foundation was established in 2005 by Bruce and Denise Morcombe following the tragic abduction and murder of their 13-year-old son, Daniel. The Daniel Morcombe Foundation provides personal child safety education to children and young people to prevent abuse and promote lifelong health and wellbeing. They support educators, parents and carers through the provision of resources and education and also directly support young victims of crime. Over the past 20 years, the Foundation has become one of Australia’s leading child safety organisations.
Day for Daniel.
Held annually on the last Friday of October, Day for Daniel is Australia’s largest child safety education and awareness event. This special day honours the memory of Daniel Morcombe and reinforces the vital message that keeping kids safe is a responsibility we all share – that’s why on this day each year Bidfood branches all around Australia turn red and host fundraising events to raise awareness and show their support.
Dance for Daniel.
Each year in the heart of Brisbane the Daniel Morcombe Foundation host Dance for Daniel, a red-tie event that features powerful storytelling and raises vital funds. Bidfood, along with many of our key suppliers, attend each year to show our support and strengthen our company’s connection to the Foundation’s main cause – to keep kids safe.
