At the Close of Play. Ricky Ponting

       How the Ponting Foundation makes a difference

      The Ponting Foundation is dedicated to doing everything possible to help young Australians and their families beat cancer.

      It provides funding for a wide range of essential services that comfort and nurture young Australians with cancer, while providing emotional support and financial assistance for their family.

      Through alliances with some of Australia’s leading cancer charities and research groups, Ricky has used his profile to influence widespread community engagement to raise important incremental funds for specific charity programs, hospitals and ground-breaking research projects engaged in the fight against cancer in Australia’s children and youth.

      The Foundation also funds programs that assist in the care and well-being of the wider family unit as they support their child through illness.
