Evolution Charity Cup 2023

The fifth Evolution Charity Cup will run at Merewether beach on Friday 17th March 2023 as an integral part of Surfest 2023.

Evolution Advisers previously sponsored SurfAid and raised over $120,000 for the not-for-profit humanitarian organisation and The Mark Hughes Foundation raising $350,000 to assist with the funding of important research in the fight against brain cancer. The Evolution Charity Cup has in 2023 directed their fundraising ability on a local not-for-profit charity doing incredible work -‘Hope in a Suitcase’.

When notified they were to be the recipients of the 2023 fundraising efforts, Founder and CEO of Hope in a Suitcase Rachael Clancy said: - "Being the recipient of donations raised by the Evolution Charity Cup will allow Hope in A Suitcase to continue to empower the lives of children entering out-of-home care throughout 2023 and beyond. This event provides the ability to make a wave of change in the foster-care system, moving from a plastic bag of embarrassment, hurt, shame, fear, and insecurity, to a suitcase of HOPE. Ensuring no child is ever handed a plastic garbage bag and is instead handed a suitcase of belongings to call their own. Together we can empower these children with love & self-worth. In turn, equipping them for the challenging journey ahead, creating a space for resilience & hope for their future. All by jumping on a surfboard and riding a few waves.”

The 2023 Evolution Charity Cup will once again be a tag team event with each team made up of employees, associates and connections of the business registering and putting their name behind their team. Each team registers to battle it out in the fundraising stakes and in the water, with prizes awarded not only for their surfing ability but also for their ability to raise funds before they hit the waves.

The Evolution Charity Cup organisers believe the 2023 Evolution Charity Cup is an opportunity to combine business and pleasure with the added bonus of supporting Surfest and a very worthwhile local charity.
