Heather with Peter Clarke of BVN
BVN Architecture has recently held two major fundraising events, raising over $28,000.00.
The BVN Market Day was held in November 2018. Funds were raised to support Sarcoma research in Laura’s memory and proceeds were donated to the newly formed Australia and New Zealand Sarcoma Association (a research organisation created with the merger of the Australasian Sarcoma Study Group and the Australian Sarcoma Group in 2018). Over $1,700.00 was raised.
Many people contributed to the success of the day and we thank each of them for their efforts.
Barry made and sold Christmas decoration snowflakes which will hang on Christmas trees in memory of Laura for many years to come. Erika sold beautiful stationery and Julie had a second hand book stall, with each donating all profits on their sales. Mel sold carry bags that every young architect wanted. Heather manned the Light of Love Luxury Fragrances stall selling candles & reed diffusers, with funds raised going to Stop Sarcoma.
BVN made the whole night possible and we thank all the principals for their continued support.

Tour de Clarke was held on the weekend of 22-24 March 2019. About 30 staff from BVN pedalled 390km over 3 days from Sydney to Canberra to send off the much loved Peter Clarke on his retirement from BVN. For a farewell gift from BVN Peter asked that BVN sponsor the bike ride, that each rider raise funds and that all proceeds go to the Australia and New Zealand Sarcoma Association in Laura’s memory. BVN arranged a professional bike tour group to support the riders on their journey. While many of the riders were used to riding long distances, many in the group were new to cycling but persevered to support Peter and Laura.

Over $26,400.00 was raised.
Many of our regular supporters, family and friends donated to Tour de Clarke and made special donations for Christmas and Laura’s birthday in Laura’s memory.
With the continued support of our generous donors and BVN, Stop Sarcoma has now raised over $171,200.00 for Sarcoma research.
