Fundraising for kids - like a boss

Albany's big bosses braved big buckets of tomatoes and plates of whipped cream on Sunday for the annual Radiowest Give Me 5 for Kids fundraiser.

This year, the event took a new format, titled Boss in Stocks, with the business leaders trapped into stocks at the Old Convict Gaol and Museum, and becoming a prime target for employees to take out their frustrations.

The event is better known as Toss the Boss, where in the past bosses have been thrown off the jetty into the cold waters of Princess Royal Harbour.

Businesses represented included Toll Ipec, Retravision, the Earl of Spencer, Mostyn Farm and Radiowest.

Radiowest Albany general manager Todd Evans said the event, which raised funds for the Princess Margaret Hospital Foundation, was a success.

At time of print, the fundraiser was on track to collect $12,000 locally.

"It was a lot of fun and we'd like to thank all the businesses … we look forward to doing it bigger and better next year and aim towards $20,000," Mr Evans said.

He said they were taking nominations for next year.
