November 23, 2015<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ergon Energy Retail customers have given the Royal Flying Doctor Service in Queensland 10 million reasons to celebrate with a major milestone reached last week.<\/p>\n

Executive General Manager Roslyn Baker said the goal to attract $10 million in donations had been reached thanks to the generous support of customers over the past 15 years.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is truly a time to celebrate,\u201d Ms Baker said. \u201cI am honoured that Ergon Energy Retail employees have played a part in this fantastic achievement.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI really need to thank our customers, though \u2013 the 127,415 regional Queenslanders – who have committed to supporting the Royal Flying Doctor Service since Ergon Energy Retail entered into this partnership in 2000.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe set the goal not knowing how long it would take, but we reached $8 million last year and it was clear then that the magic $10 million mark was well within reach.\u201d<\/p>\n

RFDS CEO Mr Nino di Marco said the Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS) greatly appreciated its strong and longstanding partnership with Ergon Energy Retail over the last fifteen years.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe RFDS has a long tradition of providing quality health care and aeromedical services to rural and remote communities, and thanks to the generosity of Ergon Energy Retail\u2019s customers, we have reached this significant $10 million milestone,\u201d Mr Di Marco said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
