Garnier Ambre Solaire, the official supplier of sunscreen to the Australian Open for the fifth consecutive year, has enjoyed remarkable success at this tournament. Garnier continued to celebrate their message with the wider community proudly Taking Care of others, especially Kids Tennis Foundation.

Roaming Garnier Ambre Solaire teams again this year gave away mini bottles of Ambre Solaire sunscreen in exchange for a gold coin donation with all proceeds going to Kids Tennis Foundation. And, many scorching summer days throughout the tournament ensured that Garnier Ambre Solaire was not only a popular product but an essential one!

Yet again, at Melbourne Park in January, Garnier was there to ensure that everyone from the fans to the players had the opportunity to look and feel their best. The team at Garnier World was on hand to provide complimentary hairstyles, massages and skincare consultations using products from the entire Garnier range, with patrons receiving a fabulous gift bag full of wonderful Garnier products. And, not only were the patrons at Garnier World happy with this fantastic treatment and gift, but Kids Tennis Foundation too, being the recipient of yet more gold coin donations from patrons. How exciting during the Open seeing those tennis balls rising up the Garnier Fund-Meter (pictured).

A staggering $50,000 was raised from these wonderful Garnier initiatives during the Australian Open. Truly an amazing result!! Kids Tennis Foundation is truly delighted and especially proud to be associated with Garnier. Because of this fabulous partnership, many more disadvantaged children around Australia will be able to receive tennis coaching on a regular weekly basis, not to mention the boost to their self-esteem and self-confidence.

Now in its 26th year, Kids Tennis Foundation has coached in excess of 250,000 children across the width and breadth of Australia. The incredible support of Garnier over many years now has helped make this possible. Sincerest of thanks in particular to Mark Tucker, Mark O’Keefe, Sandra Kelly, Georgia Reid and all the other Garnier World staff who help get the Kids Tennis Foundation message out there.
