Welcome
Halcyon Events and The Jenson Button Trust
Halcyon Events are proud to work with The
Jenson Button Trust, managing very special
fundraising activities at selected Grand Prix
venues throughout the season.
The Jenson Button Trust was established in
March of 2010. With a number of charitable
causes and campaigns being close to Jenson’s
heart the Trust was established in order to give
as much help to as many as possible.
With a number of fundraising activities and
events, from the Jenson Button Trust Yacht
at the Monaco Grand Prix to Jenson’s
‘Team Ichiban’ Triathlon team competing in
the London Triathlon, the Trust manages a
consistent, annual fundraising schedule.
Each year the Trust selects and nominates
charitable beneficiaries to which the funds
will be distributed.
For 2011 the Trust will be donating funds to
the Make a Wish Foundation. Jenson has been
an ambassador for Make a Wish for a number
of years and is a huge fan of the work that the
Foundation does.
“I first gave my support to Make a Wish
because I was able to see the impact of their
work first hand at one of their events. It’s
incredible to see these kids and the smile that
can be brought to their faces by the work of
the Foundation and it’s an absolute privilege
to be a part of it and to help wherever I can.
Whenever I have met any of the children that
Make a Wish helps I’m always totally blown
away. Their outlook on life is inspirational to
say the least. Every encounter is always
incredibly humbling. Having the Trust in
place will allow us to offer a lot more support
throughout the year.”
