Ampol Foodary has teamed up with Suntory Oceania to raise crucial funds for Surf Life Saving Australia (SLSA) throughout November.
As exclusive product providers – a first for the campaign, now in its sixth year – Suntory Oceania will donate 10 cents from select Suntory BOSS Coffee (237 and 500ml ranges), CELSIUS (330ml range) and Maximus (1L range) products sold at participating Ampol Foodary stores to Surf Life Saving Australia as part of their guaranteed $100,000 donation.
All funds raised will directly assist Surf Life Saving Australia provide specialist training, equipment and practical support volunteers require to respond safely and quickly to coastal emergencies, floods and natural disasters. Nationally, these dedicated volunteers rescue 30 people a day and perform over 450 preventative actions every hour.
"Safety is a guiding pillar of the Ampol Foundation and reflects our commitment to keeping our people and the communities in which we operate safe," Ampol Executive General Manager, Retail Australia, Kate Thomson said.
"With 630 million coastal visits each year, Surf Life Saving Australia’s role has never been more important. This fundraising will help strengthen their capabilities to support greater national readiness for coastal emergencies, floods and natural disasters.
"We're proud to welcome Suntory Oceania as the campaign's exclusive supplier and, together with our customers, help deliver safer coastlines across Australia."
Brad Erceg, Chief Commercial Officer at Suntory Beverage and Food Oceania, said: "At Suntory Oceania, giving back to society is one of our core values, and we're proud to partner with Ampol Foodary on a campaign that makes it easy for customers to have a positive impact,"
"By purchasing Suntory Boss Coffee, CELSIUS or Maximus, customers can enjoy their favourite drinks while supporting the incredible work of Surf Life Saving Australia and its volunteers.
"These brands are a natural fit with outdoor lifestyles and peak summer moments, making this a simple way for Australians to get involved and give back."
Surf Life Saving Australia, Head of Fundraising and Commercial, John Brennan OAM added: "We're grateful to Ampol Foodary, Suntory Oceania and their customers for helping equip and train our volunteer surf lifesavers. Every donation and eligible product purchase helps strengthen the skills, equipment and readiness of our volunteers, so they can respond when Australian communities need them most."
Our Surf Life Saving fundraising campaign would not be possible without the ongoing generosity of our Ampol Foodary customers, who are able to donate online, in-store at the counter or by purchasing a participating product.
The national fundraising campaign will run at participating Ampol Foodary stores across Australia, from Wednesday 4 November to Tuesday 1 December 2026, and follows Ampol's recent donation of 12 Inflatable Rescue Boats to deserving surf lifesaving clubs across Australia.
