Macquarie Sports 2016 Annual Review MACQUARIE GROUP FOUNDATION macquarie.com/foundation Access to free sporting events, as well as high profile sporting role models, often isn’t a possibility for many children around Australia, particularly for those in remote or marginalised communities. Macquarie Sports aims to break down the barriers for participation in sport by delivering sporting clinics, providing sporting equipment and access to high profile sports people, all at no cost to participants. Since 1999, over 100,000 children from communities around Australia have been provided with this opportunity. Macquarie Sports also offers corporate scholarships to elite young sports people, who share both sporting and corporate career goals.
