Here are some of the charities we have done in 2019 to support various fundraising activities:

Walk the Talk

Walk The Talk is a charity walk held on the NSW Bank holiday, creating an opportunity for those working in the Banking/Finance Industry to spend the day giving back to the community. MSI Sydney office participated in this great event and helped raise a total of $28,530 together with other participants. The fund went towards Sydney Children’s Hospitals Foundation, John Maclean Foundation and Camp Quality.



Red Nose Day

In Australia, nine children die suddenly and unexpectedly every day. Red Nose Day continues to be the major fundraiser for SIDs and Kids, as well as raising awareness of issues surrounding sudden infant death. Every year, MSI Sydney and Melbourne offices continue to host a Red Nose Day event to support thousands of families across Australia.
This year, every single employee from MSI Melbourne and Sydney offices took part in the activity and raised a total of $1706.55 which was donated towards Sudden Infant Death Foundation to assist the foundation into research, advocacy and education.
