02.19.10 Posted in Advertising by Barry


Star­bust down under are donat­ing the colour from their pack­ag­ing to the Camp Qual­ity char­ity, which helps Aus­tralian fam­i­lies affected by cancer.

We love every­thing that Camp Qual­ity stands for so we wanted to do more than just donate $100,000. That’s why we’ve also decided to give up our iconic yel­low for a lim­ited time to help raise aware­ness for the great work Camp Qual­ity do in bring­ing colour to the lives of young peo­ple effected by cancer.

They’ve even got some of the Camp Qual­ity teenagers to star in the TV ad below, Good on ya Open Fruits Starburst
