Social Responsibility

We believe in giving back.

Ricky cherishes our longstanding partnerships with the Melanoma Institute Australia, Australian Skin Cancer Foundation and Sydney Children’s Hospital, with a commitment to volunteering our time and raising money for research and development to benefit their extensive goals and commitments to better futures for humankind.


Sydney Children's Hospital Foundation (SCHF)


Supporting SCHF since 1996.

Our flourishing partnership with the Sydney Children’s Hospital Randwick began as a humble donation in the December of 1996. Almost three decades and $250,000 later we continue to support the exceptional work of the Sydney Children’s Hospital Foundation.

Each year, we donate to the Foundations greatest area of need, aiding in the purchasing of new equipment ultimately supporting revolutionary technologies. Annually, on the first Friday in December our team and customers gather to raise funds for the SCHF. On this day, our customers place orders to contribute to the sizeable donation we make, helping us support a foundation close to our hearts. Our customers receive a certificate of thanks from the team for you to display proudly.
