Deborah Thomas, CEO of Dreamworld’s owner Ardent Leisure, has pledged to donate the entirety of her scheduled cash bonus to the Australian Red Cross following the tragic death of four guests at the theme park on Tuesday.
In a statement, Thomas writes she has been “deeply affected and saddened” by the deaths of Kate Goodchild, Luke Dorsett, Roozbeh Araghi and Cindy Low, and “the impact of this incident on their children and families.”
As such, she’s directing the cash amount of $167,500 through Dreamworld’s (recently postponed) memorial day event, which will be run with the support of the Red Cross and has the express purpose of supporting those close to the victims.
“And I will be calling you to see what assistance we can offer you.”
