Since 2006 The Anika Foundation has presented an annual fundraising event, attended mainly by organisations and individuals engaged in the financial services sector. Every one of these events has included a briefing by the Governor of the Reserve Bank. In 2019 we seated more than 400 guests, including several groups of high school economics students. We raised more than $80,000. In 2020 and 2021 we presented the event as webinars with a nationwide audience and raised about $40,000 each time. All funds raised go directly to the Foundation. All of these events have been generously sponsored. We invite you to join us for a briefing by Governor Lowe by webinar. And to continue to support the Foundation as it works to understand and improve mental health in young people.
