There has been much support for this event from community leaders. Supporting the day will be, Hon. Dr Peter Wong AM MLC; Deputy Mayor of Auburn, Le Lam; Deputy Mayor of Kogarah, Annie Tang, Auburn local councilor, Jack Au.

"This is a great effort by young people to assist other kids who are undergoing difficult medical treatments, and I am proud to support this initiative," said The Hon. Dr Peter Wong.

I am sure that everyone will enjoy the day, meet new people, and continue to grow our communities sense of pride and achievement through giving to such a valuable and worthy cause," said Le Lam Deputy Mayor of Auburn.
