Turbo Studio Owner Joanne Palazzetti has been committed to raising awareness of child protection and increasing the profile of Bravehearts in NSW using her business to generate over $70k through her annual November cycle Ride With A Brave Heart For Bravehearts, and her Bravehearts Turbo Studio Masters Race.

“Every Australian child has the right to feel safe and we’re indebted to Turbo Studio for taking an active role over the past four years in promoting Bravehearts and fundraising to help us continue to protect Australian children throughout Australia,” she said. “Child protection is everybody’s business and every adult, business and organisation can each play an important role in child protection by supporting Bravehearts to help us create safer communities for all Australian children,” Ms Johnston said. “In Australia, a child is sexually assaulted every 90 minutes – that’s 1 in 5 children who are sexually harmed in some way before their 18th Birthday – a statistic that is totally unacceptable in Australian society. Hetty Johnston AM, Founder and Executive Chair of Bravehearts said, “We’re delighted that Turbo Studio has joined forces with Bravehearts to participate in White Balloon Day as part of National Child Protection Week to increase awareness of the importance of child protection and raise essential funds to support Bravehearts’ vital work. Today, Bravehearts, Australia’s leaders in child protection for 22-years, has welcomed Turbo Studio’s participation in White Balloon Day (Friday 7 September) during National Child Protection Week (2 – 8 September 2018).īravehearts’ White Balloon Day is Australia’s only national awareness and fundraising campaign dedicated to preventing child sexual assault through generating awareness to help educate children, parents and adults of the need to do more to protect kids from a crime that affects more than 60,000 children in all corners of Australia, every year.
