A Community That Gives Back
A Community That Gives Back
Our commitment to giving back is not just a corporate responsibility but a foundational value at the core of what we do. Through our global charity partnerships, we strive to support families in their time of need and contribute to meaningful causes that align with our ethos of care and compassion.
We are immensely proud of our global charity partners who work tirelessly to provide support and hope to families facing challenging times. Their dedication and hard work inspire us. Thanks to the generous support of our community and team, we have been able to help raise the below funds to aid these vital causes.
Since the inception of our charity partnerships, we have raised:
- Australia: AUD $683,722.88 (since November 2020)
- New Zealand: NZD $10,026.87 (since June 2021)
- United States: USD $13,046.01 (since July 2021)
These contributions reflect the collective effort and generosity of our customers, employees, and partners, and we are deeply grateful for the impact we have been able to make together.
At FRANKIE4, our commitment to giving back is exemplified through our sock sales initiative. We donate 100% of net profits from all FRANKIE4 sock purchases to our chosen charity partners in Australia, the United States, and New Zealand. This initiative also reflects the joint efforts of our team and community and a heartfelt dedication to supporting those in need.
In Australia, the net profits from our sock sales go to the Brainchild Foundation. This wonderful non-profit organisation provides essential support to families caring for children with brain and spinal cord tumours. The journey these families endure is heart-wrenching, and the Brainchild Foundation offers much-needed assistance, from financial aid to emotional support, helping them navigate these difficult times.

Our commitment to giving back extends beyond Australian borders. In the United States, 100% of net profits from FRANKIE4 sock purchases are donated to The Cure Starts Now. This incredible non-profit organisation is dedicated to finding a cure for cancer, focusing on innovative research and support for affected families. Their mission to end suffering and eradicate cancer resonates deeply with our team’s values, and we are honoured to support their vital work.

In New Zealand, we partner with Brain Tumour Support NZ, a charity that offers comprehensive support to adults diagnosed with brain tumours. From diagnosis through treatment and post-treatment, Brain Tumour Support NZ provides invaluable resources and assistance, ensuring that no one faces their journey alone. By donating the net profits from our sock sales in New Zealand to this organisation, we help sustain their critical services and advocacy efforts.

Where and when: Saturday 15th June, 2024, Mount Tamborine, QLD.
The details: The Brainchild Camp hosted around 30 families for a weekend of fun, a distraction away from the tough times they are going through. Daily activities included archery, rock climbing, a petting zoo, high ropes and circus skills. Each child is recently out of treatment, but nothing stops them from trying everything and having fun. It was a fantastic opportunity for families to connect and build upon their support communities.
This was attended by ten of our team as volunteers, including Nancy Hsu,
Associate Director — Loyalty Marketing & CRM, Global at FRANKIE4.
“It was such a beautiful opportunity to share in the laughs, fun and activities at the annual Brainchild Camp. We learned circus tricks, connected over coffee and family stories, jumped from trees (safely in harnesses) and cuddled goats in the petting zoo.
To be able to spend time with and give back to an incredible community of families and people who have been through so much in such a short amount of years, was so special and a privilege to have had the chance to be part of.”
