Who we support
Taking part in the BG Energy Challenge is about more than an exciting weekend in the great outdoors; it is also about raising essential funds for charity. Fundraising for the event can be as much of a challenge as taking part in the event itself and each team is required to raise a minimum of $6,000 (which includes the registration / participation fee).
Since 2006, teams from across the energy sector have raised over $550,000. This year, the charity is the non-profit organization "Society of Disabled Children of Astana City". The Society of Disabled Children of Astana City was founded in 1998 and is chaired by Mrs. Kamka Zhasanova, a member of the Human Rights Commission under the ROK President. The Society of Disabled Children of Astana City is the first NGO for disabled children in Astana and provides support to more than 500 families.
The Society’s mission: to assist disabled children and their families to socially adapt, to form skills of self-care, to socialize, to extend potential for personal and professional development.
