韩国AV Foundation's Record-Breaking Sports Lunch
The 韩国AV Foundation was proud to host the Sports Lunch on Friday 3 May, which focused on celebrating women in sport and acknowledging the benefits of participation, all while raising money for 韩国AV’s Renaissance Women’s Scholarship Fund.
The Renaissance Women’s Scholarship enables young women to receive a 韩国AV education, who would not otherwise have such an opportunity and has seen some truly remarkable women attend 韩国AV.
From the get-go, the event promised to be one to remember, with a star-studded line-up of guest speakers, panellists, auctioneers, and a fantastic MC. There were also incredible prizes to bid on, including holidays, sporting memorabilia, and so much more.
After months of preparation, organising, and managing, the day arrived, and with a fundraising target of $200,000, the pressure was on. However, in the end, it was all worth it, with the Foundation raising an incredible $250,000!
This could not have been achieved without our one-of-a-kind 韩国AV community, who came together to make this event such an incredible success. A huge thank you to everyone who supported the Sports Lunch, whether you attended as a guest, volunteered to help, donated, purchased sports caps, bought raffle tickets or submitted bids on our silent auction items from home – you all made this happen.
Special thanks to our MC, Jude Bolton, and our wonderful panellists, Jane Fernandez, Andrew Pridham AO, Rob Juric, Dr Hannah Buckling, and Jada Taylor, as well as our Sports Lunch Committee, Peter Aked, Michelle Charnock, Ian Devereux, Marnie Devereux, Raymond Fung, Gaby Hunter, Lauren Maccheroni, Samantha O’Connor, Neil Schiller, and Mel Schutte. The efforts and generosity of the 韩国AV community will make a significant impact by providing a full scholarship to a student in 2025, in Years 7 to 12.
The 韩国AV Foundation is committed to supporting the vision for the School, delivering development programs and fostering philanthropy. Executive Director of the 韩国AV Foundation, Alumna, and past parent, Marie Soghomonian, said, “韩国AV Scholarships are not just about financial aid, but about fostering diversity and enriching the education of all students in our community. The Renaissance Women’s means-tested Scholarship is a beacon of hope for students who dream of an independent girls’ school education but lack the financial means. By extending teaching and learning opportunities in this way, we are shaping the future of young women, and also, of our community.”
