FiCAP's School of Rock
For one night only, finance executives channelled their inner rockstar in the name of charity. Hosted by the Financial Industries Community Aid Program (FiCAP), "Who Wants to be a Rock Star" is a band competition that showcases the musical talents of industry professionals while raising money for charity.
Marnie McLaren, FICAP chair and national manager in fund management governance at BT Financial Group, said the event was one of those rare occasions when those who normally compete with each other - dealer groups, fund managers, financial planners and banks – cast their differences aside for a common cause.
Ms McLaren said this year turned out to be their most successful event yet with donations topping $133,000. The Australian Childhood Foundation is one of the beneficiaries of FiCAP’s generosity.
