We understand one of the principle factors of achieving well-being is living free of chronic or serious disease, or, where this isn’t possible, reducing the symptoms to allow people to lead a fulfilling life.
This is why, throughout the world, HKA selects charities that work to offer physical and emotional support for people and their families living with disease, as well as those striving to eradicate them entirely.
Here is a selection of charities we have supported that help fight disease.
Michael’s Way improves the lives of children with paediatric cancer and supports their parents under the financial strain of such a devastating diagnosis. Michael’s Way has donated more than $6,000,000 to Philadelphia-area hospitals and helped hundreds of families affected by cancer.
HKA employees donated to Michael’s Way to support families financially who are undergoing the stress of having their loved one fight the battle against paediatric cancer.
The Rally is not a race, rather a challenge to achieve the unthinkable… To drive cars worth just $1,500 across Australia via some of its most formidable roads, all in the name of charity. The event not only raises awareness and money for Cancer Council, but also offers support and a friendly ear to those that have suffered or are suffering. Box Rallies fund some of the most exciting cancer research projects across Australia – with the highest potential to significantly impact those affected by cancer.
HKA was proud to sponsor and support HKA’s Austin Hake’s participation in the 2023 Autumn held May 12th to May 20th 2023, travelling from Newcastle to Townsville via Betoota.
For nearly 100 years, the American Heart Association has been fighting heart disease and stroke and helping families and communities thrive. Participating in the Lawyers Have Heart 10K, 5K & Fun Walk boosts heart health AND mental health while helping millions of others at the same time, raising money for critical research and lifesaving funds.
HKA sponsored the 2023 Lawyers Have Heart 10k, 5K & Fun Walk to donate funds for research towards fighting heart disease and stroke.
Colleagues from both HKA and Credibility International, an HKA Company came together to support and participate in the event.
The event raised over $1.4 million to support the American Heart Association’s lifesaving mission to be a relentless force for a world of longer healthier lives.
Action for Pulmonary Fibrosis is a patient-driven charity. They are a growing community of patients, families, researchers and healthcare professionals striving to find a cure for pulmonary fibrosis so that everyone affected by the disease has a better future. Action for Pulmonary Fibrosis supports patients and families and raise awareness of pulmonary fibrosis through campaigning, fundraising and education. They also fund research to improve quality of life for people living with pulmonary fibrosis and to find a cure.
In memory of our dear friend and work colleague, Roddy Wilkie (1957-2020), HKA donated to Action for Pulmonary Fibrosis. This charity was important to Roddy as he lived with Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD), a form of pulmonary fibrosis.
“I just wanted to get in touch as I can see that HKA made an incredibly kind donation via our website in memory of your colleague Roddy Wilkie. Thank you so much to everyone at HKA for supporting our work with this donation. It really will go a long way in helping us continue to provide our vital services.” Natalie Martin, Community and Corporate Fundraiser, Action for Pulmonary Fibrosis
Community Chest Singapore is the fundraising and engagement arm of the National Council of Social Service (NCSS). They engage the community through fundraising and volunteering, empowering social service users to lead a life of dignity.
Our colleagues in Singapore organised a 10-day plank-a-thon challenge to raise funds for Community Chest Singapore. It was a great opportunity for the team to come together to give back to the local community.
The team completed more than 200 minutes planking and raised over SGD1,000, which will go towards empowering the lives of the disadvantaged and vulnerable groups in Singapore.
The Cancer Council is a charity working across every aspect of every cancer. They support people impacted by cancer when they need it most, speak out on behalf of the community on cancer issues, empower people to reduce their cancer risk, and find new ways to better detect and treat cancer.
Every year, our colleagues in Australia come together for Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea, a community event that raises vital funds to make a big difference for those impacted by cancer. Colleagues participate by baking, eating and donating. In 2023, we raised over $1,400, which will go towards vital cancer research, support services, and prevention programs.
Pink Caravan is a pan-UAE breast cancer initiative that falls under Friends of Cancer Patients’ umbrella “Kashf” for early detection of cancer.
HKA took part in the annual Pink Ladies Games in Dubai November at Sheraton Hotel on JBR. The games are a friendly competition that aims to unite woman of all cultures and ages and to raise funds for breast cancer research.
We’ve also held ‘pink breakfasts’ in our offices around the Middle east. We continue to support this worthy cause by raising awareness and funds to aid in breast cancer research!
Brain tumours are indiscriminate; they can affect anyone at any age. What’s more, they kill more children and adults under the age of 40 than any other cancer, yet historically just 1% of the national spend on cancer research has been allocated to this devastating disease. Brain Tumour Research is determined to change this.
Our Teesside office took part in Wear a Hat Day to raise money for Brain Tumour Research!
Alzheimer Scotland is Scotland’s national dementia charity. Their aim is to make sure nobody faces dementia alone. They provide support and information to people with dementia, their carers and families, and campaign for the rights of people with dementia and fund vital dementia research.
Our colleagues participated in The 5 Ferry Challenge – cycling 52 miles in four stages (including five ferry crossings!) through some of Scotland’s finest scenery to raise money for Alzheimer Scotland.
Cancer Research UK fund scientists, doctors and nurses to help beat cancer sooner. They also provide cancer information to the public.
HKA’s European team made a concerted effort throughout the month of June (2021) to be more active and clock up the kilometres to raise money for this important charity. With an activity converter which converted more obscure sports and activities into kilometres, the team managed to cover 7,441 kilometres, or the distance from the UK to the Cayman Islands. With a 25 pence per kilometre conversion rate and a number of individual contributions, this resulted in a HKA donation of just over £2,000.
March of Dime's mission is to fund research, education, & programs to help more moms have full-term pregnancies and healthy babies. HKA donates to March of Dimes every year.
HKA was proud to be silver sponsor of the March of Dimes Transportation & Construction luncheon.
Cancer is a global problem, so Worldwide Cancer Research searches worldwide for cures. One person dies from cancer every four seconds around the world. Their small team of less than 50 people is dedicated to saving more lives, and that's why they support the brightest research minds throughout the world.
In honour of World Cancer Day 2021, we made a donation to Worldwide Cancer Research. We also encouraged our colleagues to take part in the World Cancer Day 21 Days of Impact Challenge, and sent a communication inviting colleagues to find out how they can help look after themselves to prevent cancer.
