ANZIIF has announced Youth Opportunities as its new charity partner for the 49th annual South Australian Charity Luncheon. Youth Opportunities is a non-profit organisation that aims to create opportunities for young people to develop leadership and other lifelong skills.
The event will be held at the Adelaide Convention Centre on May 13 with local football legend Tim Ginever as MC.
“We are delighted to partner with Youth Opportunities Australia, an organisation that supports over 2,000 young South Australians each year by helping them build the skills, habits and confidence to lead themselves towards a successful life,” said ANZIIF CEO Prue Willsford.
“The luncheon has been running for almost 50 years, and we look forward to bringing everybody together to connect with colleagues and peers to support such a worthy cause, encouraging South Australian professionals to make use of the event’s early bird ticket sale and contribute to raising funds “to help Youth Opportunities continue to grow and deliver invaluable initiatives.”
As part of the luncheon, a Youth Opportunities graduate will also be invited to speak to ANZIIF’s industry guests.
“Our students’ stories are testament to the very real and powerful benefit a young person will derive from having access to, and doing the work to successfully graduate from, a YouthOpportunities program,” said Erin Faehrmann, CEO of Youth Opportunities. “[This] partnership will help raise awareness of the challenges young people face, and hopefully mobilise the energy of great adults to help remove those barriers.”
ANZIIF describes its annual luncheon as a way for insurance professionals to meet like-minded people and give back to the community. Early bird registration for this year’s event is until Friday, April 1.
