NGS Super's community participation

NGS Super is the super fund dedicated to education and community-focussed organisations. We take pride in community participation and we sponsor two causes that are very special to us: the Mother’s Day Classic and the Marine Discovery Centre in South Australia.

The Mothers Day Classic

The Mother's Day Classic is a national walk/run that raises money for breast cancer research. Established by the Women in Super – a national network of women working in the superannuation and finance industries, the Classic has become Australia's largest community event with over 100,000 participants in 2010 and more than $10.8 million raised for the National Breast Cancer Foundation, a not for profit organisation that promotes and supports research into breast cancer prevention and treatment.

The initiative was inspired by the knowledge that research is gradually improving the survival rate of the one in nine women who will be diagnosed with breast cancer by the age of 85.

We support the Classic by sponsoring the event as a National Silver Sponsor. In addition, NGS Super also sponsors the award for the largest school team in South Australia.

You can get involved by registering to walk or run in ten major cities and various regional centres across Australia or volunteer and help out on the day at an event near you. To find out more click here.

The Marine Discovery Centre

We are also a sponsor of the Marine Discovery Centre in South Australia - an award-winning centre which fosters an appreciation and understanding of marine life through aquatic education programs for primary school children and visitors.

The Marine Discovery Centre is Adelaide's most popular school excursion and community visit site, educating over 6,500 people each year. The centre plays an invaluable role in promoting conservation and oceanic sustainability.

We are proud to partner with the Marine Discovery Centre and to provide ongoing support to their environmental initiatives.
