It's proving to be one of the biggest charity days of the year, but it's important to remember why we do it. The Shane Warne Foundation raises funds for seriously ill and underprivileged children. As an umbrella foundation, we fund many children's charities, which need our funding to continue the work they do."

The Shane Warne Foundation was launched in 2004 and since then has raised over $6,000,000. It is an umbrella foundation, where all money raised is dispersed to various children's charities that work directly to enrich the lives of seriously ill and underprivileged children.
