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 are running their 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 Trek to the site, where they’ll experience the groundbreaking ceremony and support in its build.
All teams must be signed up by August 2025. Don’t miss out!
ANNUAL CHARITY SHOOT WITH HOLLAND & HOLLAND
The 3rd charity shoot with the Magic Future Foundation and Holland & Holland is coming up on the 5th September, 2025.
And from our previous two years of this event, we know it’s going to be another brilliant year!
A jam-packed auction is being run with the return of Jonny Gould as auctioneer from our 2023 shoot — including one-of-a-kind prizes from a day at Whatley Manor with Michelin-starred chef, Ricki Weston, to a Sunseeker factory tour. Sponsors include the MayFair Times, Sunseeker and more — and there are only a select number of tickets!
With up to 35% off ticket costs, grab them whilst they’re available via the link below.

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.
