AUSTRALIA WITH CAROLS?
AAMI loves nothing more than lending
a helping hand when things don’t go to plan.
Over the past few years, we know some have been doing
it tougher than most so we called on the community to nominate
those who could use a little extra cheer this Christmas.
We call that a Cheermergency and with the help of our partners
at Vision Australia’s Carols by Candlelight, we took AAMI’s
Roadside Cheer Assist team on the road to share the magic
of carols with the community.
Now that’s something to cheer about.
