Team Nine took honours at the third UnLtd Big Splash sailing regatta on Sydney Harbour with 14 industry teams raising more than $90,000 for children and young people at risk.
The annual event, usually taking place in March but postponed due to the pandemic, took place on October 30 in sunny conditions in Rushcutters Bay.
Each team of four was accompanied by a professional sailor to learn some tips from before a series of intense races across the harbour.
“We’ve been delighted to be able to safely bring back some of our in-person events after such a long wait," says Chris Freel, CEO of UnLtd.
"Big Splash was another great opportunity to bring our industry together after a challenging year to raise much needed funds for our charity partners. It was a fantastic day out and worth the seven month wait.”
The event was sponsored by Verizon Media and supported by ACM, GroupM, JCDecaux, Little Colossus, Network 10, Nine, Nova, oOh! Media, Publicis, Seven West Media, The Guardian and Val Morgan.
Paul Sigaloff, managing director of Verizon Media AUNZ: “It was great to be able to once again support the UnLtd: Big Splash and the important work that UnLtd does. It was a brilliant day out for team building and networking, all whilst enjoying the stunning backdrop of Sydney Harbour. The result is just incredible and will go a long way in making a difference to so many young people at risk.”
