The purpose of Hearts in Union Rugby Foundation Australia (“Hearts in Union”) is expressed in the phrase: Hearts in Union is a charity that is all about assisting those players who have suffered severe spinal injury during a rugby game. Rugby is a wonderful game played by people who enjoy the spirit of “mateship” and “fair play”. Unfortunately, some players through a freak accident have their lives changed forever. Spinal injuries place a physical, emotional and financial strain on the player for the rest of their lives. We aim to ensure those severely injured players who are suffering financial hardship receive the best possible support throughout their lives. Hearts in Union was created in early 2007, after the Directors had became aware of the need for assistance through a friend, Rocky Mileto. Rocky suffered a severe spinal injury during a rugby game in 1996 and has subsequently rebuilt his life and been an inspiration to many other injured rugby players. However, as a result of his injury, like other injured players, Rocky must replace his method of transportation (his wheelchair) every five years. These wheelchairs need to be custom made, are very expensive and simply beyond the reach of many injured rugby players. The reality was that most countries with strong rugby communities (including the United Kingdom, New Zealand & South Africa) had recognised the ongoing need to assist their injured rugby players. Independent charitable organisations had long been established in each of these countries. However, injured Australian players lacked any such direct support of their own.

The Law Enforcement Torch Run is an initiative of Special Olympics Australia and the state police forces to develop and maintain fundraising activities to provide continuing financial support to Special Olympics to provide regular sporting opportunities for people with an intellectual disability. It also seeks to raise awareness throughout the police, law enforcement agencies and greater community about the nature of the Special Olympics movement and the work they do. The first Law Enforcement Torch Run took place in prior to the 2002 Special Olympics National Games, when in a prelude to the Opening Ceremony, police from Tasmania, Victoria and New South Wales participated in a torch run from Hobart, Tasmania to Sydney, New South Wales. This was followed in 2006 when, police from New South Wales and Queensland took the flame from Sydney to the Gold Coast for the 8th Special Olympics Australia National Games. Following this, the LETR committee was formed by a number of serving and retired police officers. The LETR continues to raise awareness and spread the word about Special Olympics throughout Australia.

The Reagan Milstein Foundation has been created in the memory of a popular and sports-loving teenager, who died tragically after a scuba diving accident in July, 2010. Reagan had an incredibly gentle and loving nature and was always looking for ways to help people, particularly those who were disadvantaged or underprivileged and it is with this in mind that the Reagan Milstein Foundation was born. Our aim is to raise funds to offer financial and moral support to Australian youngsters who may not have the opportunity or financial resources to play sport or be involved in a sports club, with a special interest in Indigenous Australian youth. The Reagan Milstein Foundation has plans in the future for fundraising events and other exciting opportunities to raise money on Reagan’s behalf. While the foundation has been created to help those in need, it is also hoped that the foundation will keep the memory of Reagan Milstein alive in the community and allow us to fulfill those expectations he placed on himself to make a difference in the lives of others.
