Community Involvement

Asante Rafiki Charity
My family and I have had strong ties to the Asante Rafiki Charity for a number of years. I have personally taken part in several Rafiki Charity Ball’s to raise money for their surgical missions by assisting their auction events and annual fundraising events. The money raised would then go directly to the charity to fund their surgical missions to carry out re-constructive surgery. 


Variety Children’s Charity
From a young age I have been involved with the Variety Children’s Charity in WA. This charity is about assisting the children growing up with a disability, serious illness or disadvantage by delivering five core programs. For example, we provide for things like wheelchairs and walking frames to enable kids to gain independence and freedom. My involvement with the charity included making trips down to Mandurah to raise money and assisted in the Variety Splash Organisation.


Brain Child Foundation

I am actively engaged in supporting the Brainchild Foundation, a charitable organization aiding families dealing with paediatric brain and spinal cord tumors since 2010. Alongside my family, I play a pivotal role as both sponsors and participants in the foundation's events. Our commitment extends beyond financial contributions and charity items, as I actively advocate for the cause, raise awareness, and personally involve ourselves in the various programs offered.
