Over the past seven years and led by director Mike Toner, the agency ran events alongside Melbourne venue Revolver that included donations at the door, bar percentages, artist donations and personal donations from the Thick As Thieves team. Artists like Patrick Topping, Kölsch, Claptone and Doorly were all invovled in the events.
“Helping restore sight is one of the best gifts someone can give and Mike Toner and his wonderful Thick as Thieves team and supporters have done that thousands of times over,” said Gabi Hollows, Founding Director of The Fred Hollows Foundation. Mike and his team recieved the Fred Hollows Foundation Helping Hand Award in 2018 for their charitable work.
