Spark Financial advisors embark on Adventure All Stars television journey

National dealer group Spark Financial has announced its participation in the upcoming Adventure All Stars TV series, a global philanthropic initiative which donates proceeds to Australian charities.

Spark Financials’ involvement follows its recent announcement that it has transitioned to a profit-for-purpose business model, with 100 per cent of its profits donated to nominated charity partners.

Six advisors from the Spark Financial network have been selected to take part in the series, which is broadcast in 25 countries to an audience of 100 million people. These include Simran Dhillon, Tim Lee, Shane Isbester, Dan Diprose, Josh Eisemann, and John Cachia who, as part of the program, will be transported to a secret destination to undertake a week of adventure. Filming takes place 20-25 August 2023.

As part of the pre-filming requirements, all cast members raise funds and awareness for a nominated charitable cause. All proceeds from the six participating advisers will be distributed to Spark Financial Group’s philanthropic partner, Financial Basics Community Foundation.

According to Spark Financial chief executive, Arthur Kallos, the ethos of the Foundation closely reflects that of Spark Financial.

“The Foundation embodies Spark Financials’ belief in the power of financial literacy and providing educational resources to young Australians from an early age.

“We are driven by our commitment to improve financial literacy standards among young people, including those who are disadvantaged.

“Our participation in Adventure All Stars reflects these core values. By donating all proceeds to the Foundation, we are making a lasting difference in the lives of individuals and communities,” he said.

Prior to the commencement of filming, all cast members raise funds for a designated charitable cause which, in turn, has earned them a role in the TV series. Unlike traditional experiential or reality TV shows, Adventure All Stars cast members do not receive appearance fees, ensuring all net proceeds are directed to charity.

“Adventure All Stars isn’t just about showcasing destinations; it’s about inspiring action. Through this program, our advisors are actively participating in an adventure that resonates with our ethos of making meaningful contributions to society,” said Mr Kallos.
