UnLtd raises $37,000 at the fifth annual UnLtd Cup

The fifth instalment of the annual UnLtd Cup, the premier sporting event on the media, marketing and advertising industry’s calendar was won by GSA with a 4-1 victory over Fairfax at AppNexus Stadium. While Queensland continued their dominance over New South Wales in the State of Origin, it was GSA that turned the tables on Fairfax and reversed the result from last year’s Grand Final, stopping Fairfax from lifting the trophy for a third straight year.

The UnLtd Cup is an industry fundraising event directly supporting KidsXpress, where 16 teams from within the media, marketing and advertising industry play a round robin tournament and then move through Quarter Finals, Semi Finals and onto the Grand Final.

This year, the UnLtd Cup raised $37,000 through just one day of futsal, which will enable 12 children to participate in the KidsXpress world first, expressive therapy program – helping to undo the damage caused through trauma, family loss and domestic violence.
