Our Contributions
“Companies may exist for a profit motive, but beyond that, there is a need for businesses to give back to the community, within Australia and the global landscape.” – Scott Smith, Bromic Group CEO and Managing Director
Our Contributions
Although we operate internationally, our roots are in the local communities that are home to our customers, partners and suppliers – as well as the Bromic team and their families.
Getting involved is about collaboration and partnership – values that are part of the culture of Bromic. Our team members work together to create and participate in hands-on fundraising events that bring out the best in our team’s entrepreneurial, innovative and human spirit.
“Here to serve” is about more than business, it’s about our communities, too.
Supporting a better future for our children
The Kids Cancer Project
The origin story behind The Kids’ Cancer Project embodies the spirit that Bromic champions in business – the power of individuals to make things better – taking responsibility for effecting positive change around us.
In the late 1980’s Col Reynolds, was driving his empty tour bus past the Children’s Hospital in Camperdown, Sydney. He stopped to let two bald-headed youngsters cross the road and, on a whim, he parked his bus and went in to find out more. Moved by the people he met and what he learned, Col began a personal mission to do whatever he could to help kids with cancer.
From this initial spark of curiosity and compassion, he founded The Kids’ Cancer Council which has now raised more than $60 million for childhood cancer research and currently funds some 40 research projects. In 2000, Col’s contribution to the lives of children with cancer was officially recognised with the Order of Australia.
Community
We believe that our drive to make things better extends to the communities and world we live in.
Involvement
We believe in giving back to our local communities in tangible ways that support those in need.
Impact
We believe that through our unique capabilities, each of us can make a real difference in someone else’s life.
Bromic and The Kids’ Cancer Project
Making people’s lives better comes naturally to the people at Bromic, whether supporting mental wellbeing through Beyond Blue or Australian farmers through Rural Aid.
When we started fundraising for The Kids’ Cancer Project in 2018, Col Reynolds’ inspirational story – demonstrating the difference one person can make – resonated immediately with our staff, many of whom have children of their own.
Since then, our team keeps finding creative new ways to get involved, raising over $120K to date.
The Bromic Better Challenge was featured in this case study from the Kids’ Cancer Project.
Bromic and St. Baldrick’s Foundation
With the growth of Bromic in North America, we wanted to support a similar cause, based in the United States.
Through our support of The Kids’ Cancer Project, we were introduced to St. Baldrick’s Foundation who are on a mission to “Conquer Kids’ Cancer”, filling the funding gap for medical research in childhood cancers.
In our inaugural event in 2022, we raised valuable funds towards our initial goal of over $10K – investing in a better future for all of us.
2019- Step up Challenge
The Bromic Teams hit the treadmills to Step up for Science research. Team versus Team in this challenge of not only fitness but mental determination to see who could raise the most steps and funds for our chosen charity.
2020 – Derby Day
Inspired by Mario Bros with our own Mario and Luigi leading the charge – Bromic held Derby Day to raise funds for The Kids Cancer Project. Teams created go-karts using materials found on site and then race was on!
2021 – Better Challenge
This fundraiser we gave Bromic employees an innovative challenge where teams of 10+ would create a “People Mover” to get their entire team through an Obstacle Course onsite. The teams engineering innovation would be on the line. One team could create a vehicle that would quickly move one person at a time whereas another team may build a bus style vehicle that takes longer but is capable of moving all team members at once.
2022 – Climbing Everest Challenge
The task at hand was for each Team to build a structure to maneuver through obstacles whilst ascending our improvised Everest platform. In line with our commitment to sustainability, the Teams had to repurpose tools and materials found on-site. The challenge was embraced by all, even the staff from The Kids Cancer Project enthusiastically jumped on board and competed in this challenge.
Fundraising for a good cause
The Bromic team hold annual events and ongoing mini challenges to raise money towards causes we feel strongly about and making a better world for the next generation.
