The Belmont company is building awareness about cystic fibrosis through their fundraising efforts, including building a house where the profits went straight to Cystic Fibrosis WA.
Pindan director of development and management Nick Allingame’s daughter has cystic fibrosis and said the matter was close to his heart.
‘We choose a corporate charity every few years and do a few fundraising events to raise money and then we build a house at no margin and the proceeds go to a charity,’ he said.

In 2012/2013 Pindan raised about $30,000 through other fundraisers, not including the sale of the house which sold in May.
‘We are very pleased with the price,’ Mr Allingame said
Mr Allingame’s daughter Georgia was diagnosed with cystic Fibrosis just days after birth.
‘She only has to go into hospitals for check-ups now,’ he said.
‘We are very lucky and fortunate.’
