Hyperion Gold Coast International Sevens Rugby

Hyperion Asset Management is proud to support Rugby Gold Coast and the Gold Coast International Sevens as naming rights sponsor. Since the 2009 inaugural tournament, the event continues to grow and this year attrached 16 men’s teams and four women’s teams who showcased the latest addition to the 2016 Olympic program in Rio de Janeiro.

The Hyperion Gold Coast International Sevens was played at Albert Park, Surfers Paradise on Saturday and Sunday November 13 and 14, 2010.

Art Gallery of New South Wales

Hyperion is supporting the important conservation work of the Art Gallery of NSW by funding the restoration of one of the Gallery’s key pieces “David’s First Victory” painted by William Strutt. Strutt was an English born painter who spent 12 years of his life in Australia before returning to England where he painted “David’s First Victory” in 1868. Strutt’s painting shows the Biblical hero triumphant over the dead lion and bear, while the sheep and goats bleat their thanksgiving.

The painting was acquired by the Gallery in 1974 and needs repairs to the canvas, cleaning and a new frame.

Daniel Trollope

Daniel Trollope, a promising young Queensland rugby player, was involved in a tragic diving accident a few years ago, which left him paralysed from the waist down. Daniel’s main goal in 2009 is to race in the Gold Coast Half Ironman which is held in October and the Noosa triathlon in November. He is also working towards finishing his University degree in Criminology and Criminal Justice. Longer term, Daniel is focused on track and road racing and hopes to make the 2012 London team. Hyperion has agreed to sponsor Daniel by providing the funding for him to upgrade his wheelchair and pay for necessary interstate travel to qualifying races.
