Leaving A Positive Legacy
MCI Australia has been a long-term supporter of the Nelune Foundation, one of the country’s three national charities. Once again in 2019, the team provided pro-bono assistance to the Foundation on their annual fundraising event, the Lilac Ball. This year’s edition was a huge success, raising over €1,2 million to support the Foundation’s mission. The event’s great outcome will boost the Foundation’s efforts in providing psychological and practical support for public hospital and underprivileged cancer patients. It will also help funding research fellowship and building a new Survivorship Centre at Randwick Hospital for cancer survivors.
Few days later, MCI Australia team made another great success at Little Big Steps annual fundraising gala. Little Big Steps works to provide help, encouragement, hope and better health to kids with cancer. For this year’s event, MCI provided pre-event and onsite management, as well as design work for the NGO. The gala, held on 12 September, was a sell-out event with 270 guests attending and a staggering €50,000 raised.
In 2019, MCI Brussels partnered with Familie Redlich to organise the second edition of the travelling exhibition “Ocean Plastics Lab” (OPL) in Brussels. This initiative launched by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research with the support of the European Commission and the German Marine Research Consortium aimed at showcasing the contribution of sciences to understand and tackle the problem of plastic pollution in the oceans.
eva and Dorier Switzerland joined forces to bring the Swiss Red Cross Ball to life last October. For the 2019 Ball, the theme ‘Brighten the Lives of Our Elders’ aimed at assisting vulnerable elderly people in Armenia and Geneva. The 17th edition of the gala held in Geneva was attended by more than 500 guests, including many Swiss and international celebrities.

The MCI Malaysia team dedicated some of their time to organise a youth football challenge with grassroot development in mind. The MCI team invited 28 football clubs and paid personal visits to orphanage homes and under-privileged communities, invited them, funded their transportation and provided them food allowance so that they could also participate in the game.
Given the real success and positive feedback from everyone involved, MCI Nordics reconducted the experience for the Autumn school break. Families were welcomed at a spa hotel in central Stockholm. The first part of the day was dedicated to games, with a soap bubble artist and magicians. After lunch, the “cinema” room opened up, starring “Alvin and the Chipmunks” movie with some popcorn. The day was full of laughter, smiles and excitement.
On Human rights Day, MCI Geneva lent its expertise to the first edition of the Young Activist Summit. An occasion that brought together a panel of young female activists led by 2018 Nobel Peace Prize winner, Nadia Murad.
