Coles

Coles joined the fight in 2018 and has raised an incredible $30 million for FightMND with the support of its customers and suppliers. As a proud major partner of the Big Freeze, the entire Coles Group stands with FightMND and continues to create meaningful interactions with customers, suppliers and team members to raise awareness and funds for motor neurone disease research and care.

Together, we have sold over 1.1 million Big Freeze Beanies. We have also raised vital funds through the Coles Aussie pork farmer collaboration, where 10 cents from every Coles fresh Aussie pork product is donated to FightMND during the Big Freeze campaign periods.
