The Ruby Tuesday Foundation provides opportunities for children to participate in sport, extra curricular and community activities. The foundation partners with schools to offer all children in Year 5 & 6 in South Australian schools a targeted unit of education based on its core values of fun loving, kindness, inclusion, respect and gratitude.

Ruby Warner passed away in 2020 at the age of 12.

“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.

Thus for anyone that knew Ruby well enough, the Ruby Tuesday Foundation is a reflection of Ruby and everything she stood for. It is a reflection of how Ruby saw the world, seeing the goodness in everyone and of wanting to help others to ensure that no one missed out on life opportunities.”
