On the weekend of 7th—8th February 2009, the state of Victoria, Australia, experienced phenomenal devastation, heartache, and human loss as a result of massive bushfires.

These bushfires not only caused an extraordinary loss of livelihood, property, livestock, and wild animals, but also a great number of people lost their lives.

The Victorian Premier John Brumby launched the 2009 Victorian Bushfire Appeal Fund in partnership with the Australian Government and Red Cross to support communities impacted by devastating fires which have ravaged many parts of Victoria.

Here at Baseplan, staff wanted to show their support to those in need and as such were able to raise an amazing $3,050 in just five days! In addition, Baseplan Software  matched this amount and some by donating an extra $5,000 bringing the total donation to $8,050.
