CADBURY ROSES & Stars Foundation Charity Auction

CADBURY ROSES partners with Aboriginal Artist Karen Lee and makes a donation to The Stars Foundation.

In the lead-up to Mother’s Day, CADBURY ROSES has collaborated with renowned Australian artist, Karen Lee, on a thoughtfully designed gift box, celebrating the women in life who show love in some small ways, every day.

The indigenous inspired creation features graphics and symbols rooted in meaning and connection, emblazoned with “Mandaang guwu”, the words “thank you” in Wiradjuri. Speaking of the collaboration, Karen Lee says, “It is important to tell a contemporary narrative that reflects my experience as an Aboriginal woman in an urban society.

CADBURY is pledging $50,000 to The Stars Foundation, an initiative providing tailored mentoring and support to Australia’s most at-risk youths – Aboriginal and Torres Straight Islander Australian women and girls. This is CADBURY’s second year of donating to The Stars Foundation to help provide full-time school mentors to young Aboriginal girls to fulfill their potential and pursue their dreams. According to the organisation, 98 per cent of girls within The Stars Foundation Program have graduated secondary school and 85 per cent of graduates went on to apply for further study or entered the workforce.

To further the pledge CADBURY is auctioning off one limited edition artwork. This piece has been created by Karen Lee and is unique to the collaboration. 

The artwork is inspired to encourage Australians to connect and ‘say thank you for the little things’ while giving back to this incredible cause.
