Arc Infrastructure’s workforce have braved wet weather to support the 2025 HBF Run for a Reason with a record-breaking number of participants for the business.
The HBF Run for a Reason event is Perth's biggest annual fitness and fundraising challenge, uniting tens of thousands of participants every year since 2010, fostering community spirit and raising vital funds for charity.
Almost 60 Arc staff walked and ran to raise funds for Lifeline WA, which continues to provide life-saving crisis support, delivering over 150,000 conversations to help-seekers last calendar year.
57 Arc staff joined the Arc HBF Run for a Reason team on Sunday 25 May 2025, making it one of the largest groups of participants the business has ever had for a charitable cause. Our people took part in the variety of distances, including our Head of Maintenance Support Tim Underwood who competed in the half marathon.
Last year, in November 2024 Arc Infrastructure announced the business had entered a new Principal Partnership with Lifeline WA through our community investment program valued at $150,000 over three years. The Principal Partnership followed a 2020 Christmas donation and three-year ongoing sponsorship that commenced in 2021.
As well as the individual fundraising Arc’s 2025 HBF Run for a Reason team undertook for Lifeline WA, the business made a generous additional donation of $10,000.
Central Regional Lead Andrew Thompson acknowledged the keen uptake of staff in this year’s event.
“Our people at Arc have always been generous but the amount of employees who chose to take part in the HBF Run for a Reason made me extremely proud of our workforce,” Mr Thompson said.
“I’d also like to acknowledge the loved ones who contributed to fundraising, came to cheer our team on or participated in the event themselves.
“The 2025 HBF Run for a Reason was a great opportunity for Arc’s team to get active and be involved in fundraising for Lifeline WA to help the mental health charity deliver crucial moments of connection for those experiencing a personal crisis, or thinking about suicide.”
Lifeline WA Relationship Manager Andrew Wilkinson echoed Mr Thompson’s sentiments.
“It was great to have Arc Infrastructure staff run and walk for Lifeline WA in this year’s HBF Health Run For A Reason. It was an amazing turnout and we’re so thankful to the Arc 2025 HBF Run for a Reason team for the massive participation and support of Lifeline WA,” Mr Wilkinson said.
“Whether someone is seeking a fun and easy way to get involved or be brave and push themselves to take on more challenging distances, events like the HBF Run for a Reason remind us that together, we can be the reason someone finds hope.”
