A Message from Shane Warne…
In 2000 I began the process of creating a charitable organisation to make a significant difference to the lives of seriously ill and underprivileged children, now called The Shane Warne Foundation.
I felt passionate about creating something meaningful after meeting so many brave children trying to come to terms with their illness and fight it; their courage was inspiring. It was heartbreaking to see these beautiful children struggling and how it affects them and their families, I wanted to do more.
I am extremely grateful to have three healthy, wonderful children. I want to continue to make a difference to others who aren’t as fortunate – I want more children to smile, beat their illness and help their families live a better life, don’t you?
While I can make a small difference as an individual, together with your help we can achieve so much more.
As Chairman of The Shane Warne Foundation, I am extremely thankful for the support of our Board members – Ann Peacock, Glenn Robbins, Andrew Bassat and David Evans; our Ambassadors James Packer, Lloyd Williams, David Coe and Lee Amaitis; our International Patron Russell Crowe and Australian Patron Joe Hachem.
These people share my passion in helping children in need and have contributed significant time and effort to the cause. We are all very proud of TSWF’s achievements to date; we have raised over $5 million and helped over 80 various children’s charities since 2004.
I am extremely touched when I see people giving generously, whether they support us through attending charitable functions, via donations or support in-kind. Every little bit counts, and every single person can help us continue making a difference.
Team up with us to help Aussie Kids,
Shane Warne
