2025 Pinnacle Plunge highlights

The second annual Pinnacle Plunge event was held on 23 October, raising funds and awareness for Mental Health Month.

The night featured four of the PNI Foundation’s wonderful NFP partners: Kindness Factory, FRRR, Full Stop Australia and R U OK? sharing stories and insights into how they are supporting mental health and wellbeing in Australia.

Hosted by TV personality Sarah Harris, the event was run in a friendly and fun “shark tank” style, with each charity given five minutes to pitch, followed by some interactive questions from the four judges: Lorraine Berends (PNI/PNI Foundation), Matt Booker (Spheria), Justin England (Five V) and James Rodda (Antipodes).

Thanks to the incredible efforts of Pinnacle Group employees in the Step Challenge: Walk for Wellbeing, Pinnacle donated $60,000 to the event, which participants were able to allocate to their favourite charity’s pitch. In addition, generous donations from Pinnacle’s Affiliates, suppliers and guests on the night meant that over $155,000 was raised for the four presenting partners.

“What a wonderful event – it was a joy to be part of it. Such a generous audience in all the ways and a delight to be alongside all the other presenters.” – Karen Bevan, CEO Full Stop Australia
