Community

At Seeley International, we believe in helping others. Our company founder and Chairman, Frank Seeley AM and his wife, Kathy (who is also a director of the company), have a long history of giving back to the community.

Seeley International proudly supports a number of initiatives and events that help others, or raise money to help others.

Leukaemia Foundation Light the Night – Major National Partner

Seeley International is the National Major Partner of Light the Night. Each year, in September and October, the Leukaemia Foundation holds more than 30 events across Australia to raise money for and give hope to people affected by leukaemia. Tens of thousands take part in the events – lighting a gold balloon to remember a loved one, a white balloon to celebrate being a blood cancer survivors or a blue balloon to give hope, raising money to brighten countless lives.

Light the Night is a truly uplifting and inspirational experience. Seeley International is proud to be an ongoing supporter of the events.
