Held in Sydney, the Gold Harold awards are hosted by Life Education, the largest non-government provider of health education to children and young people.
The award recognises and honours unique individuals and organisations who have contributed in a meaningful way to the healthy development of Australia’s children.
The organisation is best known for its classroom “educator”, Healthy Harold the giraffe.
“I am humbled and honoured to receive a Gold Harold award, and applaud the work of the tireless team at Life Education whose programs tie in perfectly with my philosophy that no child should be disadvantaged through no fault of their own,” Mr Symond said.
“It was from this simple belief that I decided to focus a significant part of my philanthropic efforts on helping children. To be recognised for this work is an unexpected bonus.”
