Since Gumball has used its media awareness and high profile network of friends, associates and Gumballer Alumni to promote worthy causes. Over the past decade we have worked closely with several charities and organised dinners, parties, photo shoots, auctions and events in support of the following causes:

Make a Wish Foundation

We have supported the Make-A-Wish Foundation since our first event back in 1999, that year funding the wishes of several children to become racing drivers for a day. We have since worked with the Make-A-Wish Foundation many times, including donating the auction proceeds from the sales of original Gumball artwork by Stewart Walton and Adam Bricusse.

And most recently, we organised for Spice Girl Mel B to meet Make-A-Wish benefactors, and to sing Christmas Carols at Selfridges department store in London, also collecting the proceeds from all store donations.

Everyman Cancer Research

Water Aid & The Big Issue

Stay Strong Stephen

Maximillion competed in freestyle BMX competitions as an teenager, and is still as passionate today about BMX as anybody could be, counting many of today’s leading riders as close personal friends. Last year, one of the sports legendary riders, Stephen Murray, suffered a horrendous accident in competition that has left him paralysed from the waist down.

Stephen was not only a friend of Max’s, but also a Gumballer, having participated in the last stage of the 2003 rally from New Orleans to Miami with fellow BMX rider Cory Nastazio, FMX Metal Mullisha Tyler Evans, and Snowboarding legends Tina Basich and Tara Dakides in a 2003 Jesse James customised VW Eurovan.

Following Stephen’s accident, not only suffering the unimaginable loss of mobility, Stephen’s insurance policy left him high and dry. Not only to encourage and support Stephen to make a recovery, the ‘Stay Strong Stephen’ Foundation was set up to support his family, and also to benefit others in similar situations manage financial affairs and to stay strong.

In July 2007 Gumball supported a BMX Jam to raise money for Stephen, and we have also contributed and donated to other Stay Strong events. We are extremely proud of Stephen for everything that he has already achieved in life, and we have no doubt that he will continue to achieve remarkable things in the future. He is one of the strongest characters alive, and we will continue to support him and his family throughout his recovery.
