	ASX Thomson Reuters Charity Foundation The Australian Securities Exchange and Reuters Australia joined forces in 1999 to form a Charity Foundation with the objective of helping Australian-based children’s and medical research charities by organising fundraising events in conjunction with the Financial Markets. The most recent event was the annual Financial Markets Charity Golf Day and Gala Dinner held on 27 February 2009 which raised over $1.05 million for 27 children’s and medical research charities. The next event is the Financial Markets Charity Sailing Regatta which will take place on 16 October 2009 at Middle Harbour Yacht Club.

	RedBalloon RedBalloon is changing gifting in Australia and New Zealand forever. Quite simply, we want to give people a good time, package pleasure and deliver excitement with every experience they receive. People talk about their experiences much more than their possessions and they relive these excitements with friends and family. Think of the reaction you have when you experience something you enjoy – enjoy a delicious meal or laugh wholeheartedly whilst watching a hilarious comedian – you tell people about it! We’re in the business of making people happy. We are firm believers that life is the sum of our experiences, and memories define who we are. RedBalloon is also significantly impacting employee engagement. According to Gallup up to 21% of employees are disengaged across Australia – costing some $42 billion per year in lost productivity. If RedBalloon reduces disengagement by even 1%, imagine the difference we will make!
