Who We Are
We support Children's, Disability and Medical Research charities by mobilising funds from financial and corporate Australia whilst providing a valuable networking opportunity for our sponsors and participants.
We aim to distribute $1 million dollars each year to charity. As we emerge from the restrictions on LIVE events in the past 3 years, we are encouraged by returning and new participants and look forward to supporting many charitable organisations in the years ahead.
We engage and enhance the sponsorship, marketing and customer entertainment budgets of leading businesses distributing profits to charity through a number of major events.
We also run an annual Car Raffle Prize Draw.
Our History
The ASX Group and Refinitiv (formerly Reuters/Thomson Reuters) joined forces in 1999 to form a charity foundation with the objective of helping Australian-based children’s, disability and medical research charities by organising fundraising events in conjunction with the financial markets.
To date, the combined funds distributed to a wide range of charities totals over $36 million.
Participation
Participants in the Golf Classic, Race Day and Sailing Regatta include top executives from financial and corporate Australia. The CEOs, Chairmen and Senior Executives of companies like ASX, Refinitiv, Nine, Westpac, NAB, TPG, CITI, Macquarie Bank, Magellan, Seven, Foxtel and many others take part in the events and compete side by side in some of corporate Australia’s most anticipated and enjoyable events.
Sponsorships
Sponsors are sought to cover as many of the costs as possible to maximise the amount distributed to the charities.
Executive Team
The Board is made up of executives from both the ASX, Refinitiv and with three independent directors. The detailed fundraising is arranged through a full and part-time Executive Team headed by a General Manager.
