Our mission is to enrich the lives of seriously ill and under privileged children and teenagers in Australia. We are an umbrella organisation, meaning we raise money through the events we run, donations we receive, and corporate sponsorship, and distribute those funds to a diverse cross section of charities and individuals who work hands on in these areas. We do this as it relieves the constant burden of fund raising faced by these great organizations and people, so they can effectively handle the day to day needs of the brave children they support. Since our inception in 2004, we have raised over $7 million, and have made over 120 individual distributions to various children’s charities and individual families in need. Everything from horse riding lessons for the disabled, swimming therapy, respite care for terminally ill children and funding much needed medical equipment, all come under the banner of The Shane Warne Foundation. The mandate from Chairman Shane Warne and our Board of Directors is to help as many charities and families as possible, in as many different areas as are needed. Unlike most charities, The Shane Warne Foundation is not restricted to helping a specific cause, conversely, we aim to help as many different causes as we possibly can.
