This year, CanToo is delighted to welcome the Audi Foundation as our official partner for our 2026 Summer Ocean Swim program.
Through their generous support, the Audi Foundation is helping to power CanToo’s dual mission: training individuals to achieve personal fitness goals and increasing funding for life-saving early-career cancer research.
This year marks CanToo’s 20th anniversary. For the past two decades, we have been helping people across Australia to tackle personal fitness goals while raising much-needed funds for early-career cancer research. Our Summer Ocean Swim supports ocean swimmers at every level - from nervous first-timers to seasoned ocean athletes - with expert coaching, group training, and fundraising that makes a real impact.
“We are very excited to partner with the Audi Foundation for our largest program, the Summer Ocean Swim. We have over 400 participants who challenge themselves each year – with the funds raised we can contribute more to our early-career cancer research program and change the lives of many and for our community.”
- Lisa Hresc, CanToo CEO
Since being established in 2017, the Audi Foundation has created meaningful change through its grants program - backing initiatives that advance medical technology and treatment, shape education and career futures, drive positive health outcomes, and support communities. With them by our side, we’re ready to take this summer’s swim experience to the next level.
CanToo participants have raised over $35 million since 2005 to support early-career cancer researchers. We are so delighted to partner with the Audi Foundation who share our vision to make a tangible, positive difference to the lives of Australians through our dual mission.
