Trade exchange BBX has recently added its support to the Australian not-for-profit organisation FSHD Global Research Foundation that is dedicated to finding a treatment and cure for a form of muscular dystrophy called Facio-Scapulo-Humeral Dystrophy (FSHD).
As part of its fundraising, the Foundation is holding a series of golf days at the Killara Golf Course in Sydney. To date, the tournament has raised $50,000 and 100 per cent of this will go towards medical research for FSHD, with two more golf days planned for 27 August and 24 September.
“It is encouraging to see that businesses like BBX have a desire to support the FSHD Global Research Foundation's journey to find a cure or treatment for FSHD,” said Foundation founder and former Macquarie Bank executive director, Bill Moss AM .
As a supporter of the Foundation, BBX has provided a number of prizes and auction items to assist in the fundraising. Rick Powell, marketing manager for BBX was master of ceremonies at the most recent golf day on 27 July.
“It was a great day for everyone involved. We had some high profile participants, like Steve Waugh, come out and enjoy a great day of golf for the fantastic cause,” said Powell.
FSHD is the second most common form of muscular dystrophy in adults and the third most common genetic hereditary disease seen in skeletal muscle. The FSHD Global Research Foundation invests 100 per cent of all public donations into research projects aimed at finding a cure or treatment for FSHD.
BBX is a business-to-business trade exchange that facilitates cashless trading of goods and services between members. The exchange uses BBX dollars, a currency unit with an equivalent value to Australian currency, to assign value to the transactions that take place between member businesses. In essence, the exchange acts as the third party record keeper, similar to a bank, and provides a sophisticated market where thousands of transactions take place on a cashless basis.

BBX bucks the trend and sponsors the Bunnies, Bull |

Despite many sporting clubs reporting declining sponsorships due to cuts in marketing spends, trade exchange company BBX is sponsoring three teams for the 2009 football season. These teams are NRL’s South Sydney Rabbitohs and Canterbury Bulldogs and also AFL’s Port Power.
“The financial crisis has hit many sporting clubs hard as many companies have cut sponsorship funding,” said BBX CEO Michael Touma.
“BBX is a growing company and we see great benefits in sponsorship, so we are proud to be able to support these clubs and also Australian sport in general.
“We have been sponsors of the Rabbitohs since 2005, but this year we also decided to expand our sponsorship program to include the Canterbury Bulldogs in the NRL and also Port Power of the AFL.
“I believe Russell Crowe summed it up perfectly. The local community and fans need to get behind teams if they are to survive and remain successful for future generations,” added Touma.
Rabbitohs corporate partnership manager, Jeremy Scott says BBX is the ideal corporate sponsor.
“BBX has led the Rabbitohs into a new world of ‘budget relieving’ spending and we see a very bright future when companies like BBX continue to support the club,” said Scott.
Since the sponsorship began, the Rabbitohs have become members of the BBX trading network and this has contributed greatly to bringing the club back to profitability.
BBX is a membership based trading program whose primary role is to generate new opportunities for all types of businesses and to show business owners how to offset many current cash expenses by utilising the down time and idle inventory in their business.
The trade exchange uses BBX dollars, a currency unit having equivalent value to Australian currency, to assign value to the transactions that take place between member businesses. In essence, the exchange acts as the third party record keeper, similar to a bank, and provides a sophisticated market where thousands of transactions take place on a cashless basis.
BBX Holdings Limited listed on the ASX in August 2005, becoming the only exchange in the world to be publicly listed on a main board.
BBX has offices throughout Australia and operates in New Zealand, China, India and Costa Rica through a master franchise, with plans to establish more international franchises. Globally these are over 300,000 BBX members.
Members in Australia and New Zealand traded in excess of $192 million in the financial year ending 30 June 2008, averaging over $33,000 per member. |
