K&R Fabrications has supported the Nicole Fitzsimons Foundation through the donation of a trophy for a Rugby League match between Wests Illawarra and Shellharbour Sharks in the Illawarra Coal League on 5th April at Parish Park.

Illawarra Coal and K&R Fabrications will help local charity Kids Fund continue to support children with special needs with a joint donation of $2,000.The impetus for the donation came with K&R Fabrications being named as Illawarra Coal's Surface Supplier of the Year for 2011. As part of the annual award, Illawarra Coal provided K&R Fabrications with $1,000 to donate to a not-for-profit organisation of their choice. K&R Fabrications chose Kids Fund and decided to match Illawarra Coal's donation. Head of External Affairs John Brannon said K&R Fabrications was selected as Illawarra Coal's Surface Supplier of the Year in 2011 for its excellence in performance with the Company in areas including commitment to health and safety. "Illawarra Coal is proud that K&R's high performance in FY11 has also been able to reward and support a great local charity, and we impressed that they have decided to match the Illawarra Coal award funds," John said.
