At the Ruby Tuesday Foundation, we believe in spreading the warmth and kindness that Ruby embodied. Our program is designed to empower children and youth from all backgrounds to pursue their dreams, regardless of their circumstances. Through a variety of educational and extracurricular opportunities, we aim to illuminate the path to a brighter future for every child, just as Ruby envisioned.

Ruby was a special girl. She had an insatiable passion for school and for sports and she loved to run – whether it be on the athletics track, the basketball court or simply in the back yard. Running, she said, made her feel… “free”.
But it was her caring spirit that her family, friends and school teachers noticed from a very young age. Ruby wanted everyone to have a chance and not feel left out. The love and joy that she found in school and in sports and competition was something that Ruby wanted everyone to experience, and to never be denied because of family circumstance.
Our Purpose is to create connection and possibilities for disadvantaged children and youth into education and community participation.
Our Aspiration is that all children and youth can thrive by learning, developing and applying their personal skills to their lives.
The Ruby Tuesday Foundation walks together with the traditional custodians of this nation. In doing this we acknowledge and pay respect to elders past, present and future, and the continuation of cultural, spiritual and educational practices of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
