Taking the Plunge for mental wellbeing

In October 2024, Pinnacle again hosted its popular “Step Challenge” in support of Mental Health Month. Nearly 200 participants from across the Group collectively walked over 28 million steps, raising $50,000 for four of the Foundation’s mental health partners – batyr, Mobilise, ReachOut and SANE.

These four partners were then invited to come together as special guests of the inaugural Pinnacle Plunge, presenting their innovative ideas to support mental health with remarkable passion.

Featuring MC Sarah Harris and a panel of independent judges, the event brought together a community of dedicated individuals united in their support for mental health causes.

Thanks to the generosity of all those involved, a further $50,000 was donated on the night, bringing the total funds raised to $103,623. We would like to express our gratitude to everyone who participated, donated and supported the evening. Your commitment makes a real difference and contributes to the ongoing success of these initiatives.

“Thank you for including us in the event with our friends from ReachOut, SANE and Mobilise. It is always a pleasure to show what we do, how we all work together and bring different dimensions to supporting the community. But less often, do we get to show that in a room full of interested people from the financial sector. The feedback has been great, and we connected with some wonderful people.”

– Katie Acheson, CEO batyr
