Shane Warne Foundation was an Australian not-for-profit organisation founded in 2004[3] by former cricketer Shane Warne. The organisation closed in 2017 following a regulatory investigation and controversy over its finances.[4]
Warne founded the charity in 2003, with the intention of assisting "seriously ill and underprivileged children and teenagers". AFL player Brendon Fevola won the second season of I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!, allocating half of the $100,000 prize to his nominated charity, The Shane Warne Foundation, and half to Paul Harragon's chosen charity, The Mark Hughes Foundation.[5] Dermott Brereton appeared on the third season of The Celebrity Apprentice in 2013[6] and raised $294,687 for the charity. During 2015, Barry Hall appeared on I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! and was runner-up, with his charity also being the Shane Warne Foundation.
