Donations to Fragile X in 2023
For the tenth year running, Shaw and Partners Financial Services has generously committed to match, dollar for dollar, donations made to the Manly Wharf Bridge to Beach event, raising much needed funding for Fragile X Association of Australia*.
If we as a paddling community can raise over $10,000, Shaw and Partners will match this with another $10,000. This means that for every $1 that you donate, you are in fact, effectively donating $2 and your donation is tax deductible.
This will help fund the specialist family support service offered to Fragile X families across Australia.
Help us reach our target of $20,000 for Fragile X!
Participants can donate to Fragile X when entering online.
*Donations will be matched to a cap of $10,000
