A few years ago, a friend asked Star Finance’s Paul Dossetto if he would like to establish a charity with her. His friend had a rare form of cancer, adenoid cystic carcinoma, less than 100 cases of which are diagnosed in Australia each year. Dossetto’s response was a definite yes.

“I knew how her rare cancer was affecting her and her family and wanted to help others in the same situation.” So he became the vice president and founding board member of Without a Ribbon, supporting rare cancer sufferers.









At their recent annual conference, four men who had undertaken a 54-day motorbike journey, the ‘Compass Run’, around Australia, announced they had raised over $53,000 for the charity.

Dossetto’s Brisbane brokerage also hosted a local ‘Drag Queen Bingo Night’ last year, raising over $5,500. “My staff, friends and local community all came together to assist and make it a fantastic night.”
