Sydney Harbour 10&5K Double Your Impact Day Frequently Asked Questions

What is Double Your Impact Day and how does it work?

For a 24 hours only, starting from 8:00am 16th July 2024 (AEST) and ending 8:00am 17th July 2024 (AEST), all donations made to Australian Cancer Research Foundation (ACRF) via Sydney Harbour 10&5k event page will be matched dollar for dollar.

How much are we hoping to raise?

During the 24-hour matched giving campaign period, ACRF are hoping to raise $10,000 (on top of the $10,000 matched giving amount) that will go towards cutting-edge cancer research into all types of cancer.

What happens if the person providing the matching gifts decides to pull out of the campaign?

In the unlikely event that the donor decides to no longer provide the matching gift donation the campaign will not go ahead. We will notify people of this event via acrf.com.au along with announcements on ACRF social media platforms (Facebook and Instagram).

Who is providing the $10,000 matching gift?

Makinson d’Apice Lawyers, and other generous ACRF supporters have together pledged $10,000 to Australian Cancer Research Foundation. The amount has been confirmed in writing and is committed to the campaign.

How will I know if the allocation has been exhausted?

Once the matching amount has been exhausted, communications will be updated across the acrf.com.au website to reflect that the matching campaign is no longer running. Along with this, an announcement will be made on ACRF social media platforms (Facebook and Instagram). This announcement will be made in a reasonable time-frame/as soon as is practical and may be impacted by the time of day at which point the allocation is exhausted.

What happens if the $10,000 matching amount isn’t exhausted?

If the $10,000 matching amount isn’t exhausted / fully utilised, the donor may decide to donate or support ACRF through other means, but that is at the donors discretion.

What happens to donations made after 8am 17th July 2024 or once the allocation is exhausted?

Donations will still be accepted and will still go towards pioneering research into all types of cancer however, they won’t be matched. These essential funds will be used to fuel the next round of ACRF grants as we move forward in our mission for a world without cancer.
