Events and Fundraising Initiatives
We have many amazing events happening and coming up to raise money towards our 100 Schools Project. For more information about our latest events and initiatives, please see below.
30 IN 30 FUNDRAISING CHALLENGE!
In what would’ve been Oliver ‘Felix’ Wissenbach’s 30th birth-year, the foundation begun the 30 in 30 fundraising challenge.
In this challenge, 30 teams of up-to 15 people will work together to raise vital funds to build schools. Each team’s goal is to raise £35,000 or more collectively, fundraising for an entire school. Every team also has the opportunity to contribute directly to the construction of their school by participating in a buildOn Trek to the site, where they’ll experience the groundbreaking ceremony and support in its build.
PREVIOUS EVENTS
ANNUAL CHARITY SHOOT WITH HOLLAND & HOLLAND
3 NEW SCHOOLS FUNDED AT THE 3rd charity shoot with the Magic Future Foundation ON THE 5th September, 2025.
Blue skies, great company, and a spirit of knows-no-bounds generosity set the tone for a perfect day of sport, food, friendship, and purpose.
From an incredible group of guests to a brilliant list of sponsors, the day was set to be a change-maker from the start. Run in the same format as every year - with some slight upgrades per year as expected to better the event - it always stands as an unforgettable day.
And the Foundation will be doing it all again on the 4th September, 2026 - tickets to soon be made available.
A STAGGERING £126,000 RAISED!
On 27TH September 2023, we hosted an exceptional clay shooting day at Holland & Holland and raised £126,000
Over 100 guests took part in a day's shooting over 10 stands with the aim of fundraising for the 100 Schools Project in memory of Oli Wissenbach.
The 100 Schools Project helps alleviate poverty through education, and Oli’s legacy has now funded the construction of 28 schools.
The Magic Future Foundation Shoot was a complete sell out.
Guests enjoyed a days shooting, champagne reception, delicious 3 course lunch prepared by Michelin trained chef Josh Hunter, followed by a motivating speech by Jim Ziolkowski, Founder of buildOn and a passionate philanthropist and public speaker who inspired the room with ‘Oli is our ignition’, followed by a heart warming and compassionate speech by Stefan Wissenbach.
The day finished with a lively auction by Jonny Gould, a prize-giving, and an ultimate tasting of some of the finest whiskeys made possible by Craft Irish Whiskey.
