Community, Comradery and Competition at MPA's First Raise for Redkite Golf Day

In October MPA held our first Raise for Redkite Golf Day at Terrey Hills Golf & Country Club, bringing together our team, subcontractors, clients and friends to raise money for families facing childhood cancer.

Whether you’re a parent, a member of the extended family, or a close friend of a child who has cancer, the thought of holding it together when a child’s life is in question can feel impossible. Redkite provides the practical, emotional and financial support for families who have a child with cancer aged 18 or under, so people don’t have to face it alone.

MPA has proudly partnered with Redkite since 2010 and held a position on the Regional Council since 2017. A partnership fostered by one of our founders Edward Singleton, working alongside Redkite has become part of our DNA with MPA Director of Client Solutions, Troy Clancy, now taking a place on the council.

From volunteering to fundraising, the MPA team is passionate about supporting as many families facing cancer as possible. When planning began for our first Raise for Redkite Golf Day earlier this year, we were completely blown away by the level of interest and support from the start.

Community, comradery and competition were the order of the day at the MPA Raise for Redkite Golf Day, with over 150 people joining us bright and early on October 19 to show their support.

After 18-holes of golf and a celebrity-hosted putting competition, we wrapped up the day with a sit-down lunch, where attendees heard from Redkite Director, Georgie Gardner, on the importance of Redkite’s work, followed by a live auction hosted by actor Rodger Corser.

Thank you to Redkite ambassador Roz Kelly, Wests Tigers Rugby League Football Pty Ltd legend, John Skandalis, and NRLW coach and NRL legend, Brett Kimmorley, for also joining us.

The level of support and generosity from our communities was truly heart-warming. Together we raised $230,464 for families facing childhood cancer.

"We are absolutely blown away by the generosity of MPA and their community! Thanks to your support, over 93 families facing childhood cancer will have access to critical support services for an entire year. We cannot say thank you enough," said Redkite CEO Monique Keighery.
