Charitable work
Vision Australia
We are proud to announce a new partnership with Vision Australia—the leading national provider of blindness and low-vision services in Australia.
Dedicated to ensuring that people who are blind or have low vision can live the life they choose, Vision Australia offers a range of services, including mobility training, technology solutions, and community support. Their mission is to support and empower people of all ages, helping them to live independently and participate fully in every aspect of life.
As a supporting partner, the Kay & Burton Foundation will sponsor two of Vision Australia’s most beloved events—the Santa Fun Run and Carols by Candlelight—with all funds raised going towards the Life Ready Program. As the proud sponsor of St Kilda Mums and Kids Under Cover from January 2021 to December 2023, the Kay & Burton Foundation has played a transformative role in supporting these organisations.
Santa Fun Run
Held in Melbourne on November 23 and Sydney on November 30, this fun-filled event is a great way to get active while supporting Vision Australia’s vital work in the community. Dash into the holiday season and join hundreds of Santas for a festive run, walk, jog or roll. It’s a family friendly event for all ages and helps start the festive season off in the lead up to Carols by Candlelight.
Carols by Candlelight
On 24 December each year, Melbourne’s Sidney Myer Music Bowl lights up as families and friends gather to celebrate the festive season while raising funds for Vision Australia’s children’s services. From humble beginnings in 1938 with a 30-strong choir, two solo performers and the Metropolitan Fire Brigade Band performing at midnight, Carols by Candlelight has grown into an institution of Christmas magic.
St Kilda Mums & Kids Undercover
As the proud sponsor of St Kilda Mums and Kids Under Cover from January 2021 to December 2023, the Kay & Burton Foundation has played a transformative role in supporting these organisations.
St Kilda Mums
Our collaboration with St Kilda Mums has been transformative as our team embarked on collaborating with the organisation on their mission to reach more than 20,000 babies and children annually, providing essential support to struggling parents and caregivers. Through sponsorship, donations, and volunteer efforts, we’ve helped St Kilda Mums ensure every child receives the care and essentials they deserve.
Kids Under Cover
Our partnership with Kids Under Cover has empowered 25 young people at risk of homelessness with Education Scholarships, offering them a pathway to a brighter future through continued schooling. Additionally, our sponsorship of the Big Build Giving Day has enabled Kids Under Cover to leverage additional support and magnifying the impact of their important work in the community.
