ALDI Australia launches very Special Buys range in support of Camp Quality

As the weather starts to warm up, it’s time to fix our sights on planning our summer fashions – and the return of ALDI Australia’s specially themed Camp Quality Special Buys range!

Hitting the middle aisle on Wednesday 11 September, a portion from the sale of each specially themed product will be donated to Camp Quality who help to bring positivity, fun and laughter back into the lives of kids facing cancer.

New to this year’s range are the specially designed children’s clogs ($6.99) and socks (2pk, $3.99) – a powerhouse combo for any little trendsetter! The fan favourites are also back this year including a durable double wall drink bottle ($8.99), and adorable children’s foldable sunglasses ($7.99). The ever popular (iconic even?) unisex bucket hats ($7.99) are reversible making them twice as nice! And if you needed another reason, 100 per cent of proceeds from the sale of the hats will be donated to Camp Quality – thrice as nice!!

September is Camp Quality Month at ALDI, and the launch of the range helps raise awareness and much needed funds for ALDI’s national charity partner during Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. ALDI is even going a step further and will match all customers’ donations made to Camp Quality at the register or online, up to the value of $100K for the whole of September.

“Whether it’s donning a bucket hat or donating at the register, since launching our national partnership with Camp Quality in 2020, we have collectively raised over $6.7 million for Camp Quality. This is only possible thanks to the incredible support of our customers, employees and Business Partners who have helped enable over 7,000 kids facing cancer to attend a Camp Quality recreational program,” says Daniel Baker, Director of National Sustainability at ALDI Australia.

“Our Camp Quality themed Special Buys have been a hit with shoppers over the past four years, and with a portion of all sales from each of these items being donated to Camp Quality, Making a Good Difference has never looked better!”

Camp Quality supports children (0-15 years) dealing with their own cancer diagnosis, or the diagnosis of a sibling or parent. Their services and programs give kids and their families a break from cancer away from hospital, providing opportunities to reconnect and make happy memories on camps, family getaways and fun days. They also offers age appropriate educational services, specialised cancer care, counselling, and a supportive community.

Camp Quality CEO, Deborah Thomas, said, “We strive to be a source of positivity, fun and laughter for kids impacted by cancer, whether it’s their own diagnosis or that of a loved one, Through donations from ALDI Australia, including it’s the Camp Quality Special Buys range, we can support kids at every stage of their cancer journey. We look forward to seeing ALDI shoppers rally behind this cause as they have done for the last four years.”
