SPONSORSHIP

The Fernwood Foundation

In 2005 by Diana Williams, founder and Executive Chair of Fernwood Women’s Health Clubs wanted to make a difference to the women in the community and so developed the Fernwood Foundation which is a charitable not-for-profit organisation that aims to foster greater self-reliance in women who are experiencing difficult life circumstances. Three per cent of all of Fernwood's profits fund the Foundation’s activities.

The vision of the Fernwood Foundation is to empower women with life challenging circumstances to shine. The Venus Program is the first major initiative that has been undertaken.

The Sussan Women's Fun Run

Each year, Fernwood sponsors the Sussan Women’s Fun Run in Melbourne which is Australia’s largest women’s-only fun run and is the third biggest female only event of its kind in the world.

The event which involves a 5km or 10km run or walk through St Kilda’s picturesque Catani Gardens, helps raise vital fund for the Breast Cancer Network of Australia. In 2009 over $77,000 was raised for this cause which touches the lives of so many Australian women every year.
