The Chris Wild (ON 1991) Indigenous Bursary was established in May 2012 by the Wild Family and friends to honour the late Chris Wild and the cause he believed in.

For all of his adult life, Chris spent most weekends volunteering his time mentoring local indigenous young people to reach their full potential. He knew that access to educational opportunities was crucial for change.

Since its establishment 18 months ago, $479,500 of the initial target of $500,000 has already been pledged.

What an amazing start and an encouraging testament to the overwhelming generosity and support of the Newington community!

In order for the Bursary to become firmly established as a self-perpetuating bursary and to cover the vagaries of fluctuating interest rates and inflation, the target has been re-set to a more sustainable $600,000.

Your tax deductible gift to this bursary will allow an Indigenous young man the opportunity of having a Newington education and will enable him to ‘Discover what’s possible’.

Thank you.
