OXYGEN FACTORY is committed to making a difference both locally and globally and is currently supporting the following organisations:

 National Rugby League Tsunami Visit to Samoa

The week before Christmas 2009 a number of NRL players and professional surfers traveled to the tsunami torn area in Samoa. Their aim for the trip was to put a smile on every persons face, to give them hope and to let them know that the League and Surfing community, cared. They achieved all this and much much more. The group consisted of Nigel Vagana, Roy Asotasi, Wendell Sailor, Andrew Johns( League), Zahn Foxton, Dylan Longbottom, Michael lowe (Pro surfer), Tommy Herschell (Surf Journalist) Nick Walshaw( Sydney Daily Telegraph) and Craig Tuffin (Photographer). Oxygen Factory also played a role in this trip by donating 100 copies of Get Your Hopes Up to teens within the community.
