The Morgan Innes Foundation
The Morgan Innes Foundation was established to honor the lives of seven people drawn together by their love of figure skating. While four people died tragically, three remained seriously injured in the collision between a boat and ferry on Sydney Harbour on 28th March, 2007.
The Foundation celebrates the lives of these passionate people by raising funds to help young ice skaters pursue their ice skating dreams and provides opportunities for disadvantaged youth to experience the “fun” that brings all skaters to the ice each day.
