Oxygen joins SAP Ecosystem Foundation
In one of its first fundraising initiatives, the Foundation has announced the inaugural SAP Ecosystem Regatta for Redkite to be held on 11 November 2011.
Oxygen’s General Manager, Consulting Australia, Stuart Dickinson says the company is proud to participate in the event which is being staged out of the Middle Harbour Yacht Club at the Spit Bridge in Mosman.
“The regatta is open to all customers, partners, suppliers and professionals in the SAP ecosystem, and promises to be a fun and innovative way of bringing together everyone involved in SAP to raise money for a great cause.”
Redkite is a charity that provides real and practical support to children and young people with cancer. Redkite supports individuals and their families from the moment of diagnosis, through treatment and on return home to the community. It provides practical, grassroots support including financial assistance, emotional support and educational assistance.
Dickinson says getting involved in the Regatta will be more than a ‘feel good’ exercise. “It’s also a great opportunity to network and build relationships with customers, partners and suppliers.”
Other features of the Regatta will include:
- An auction of celebrities as crew members
- An auction of renowned skippers for those looking for a competitive edge
- A live cross to free-to-air TV at some stage in the race
- A cocktail function at the conclusion of the event
The Foundation is an excellent initiative and one that allows member companies to achieve corporate responsibility goals, says Dickinson. It aims to raise around $45,000 for Redkite per year.
He says businesses can also support the Regatta through corporate sponsorship of the event. “The Foundation is looking for a Platinum sponsor, a technology sponsor who can showcase their technology on the day, as well as any number of supporting sponsors.”
