Australian of the Year Dylan Alcott (AO) is partnering with iconic Australian winery Grant Burge to head their Leave Your Mark campaign - a campaign that encourages everyday Australians to celebrate their ambitions, achieve their goals and leave their own mark on society.

A remarkable role model who has already achieved so much in his 31 years – including four Paralympic gold medals and being the only male in any form of tennis to win the Golden Slam – Dylan knows how much is possible, both personally and professionally, with the right mindset. “To me, leaving your mark is all about being purpose- driven and authentic; doing something meaningful that will have a positive influence. Whether that’s the conversations and relationships with the people around me or having a voice on the social issues that are important to me. Everyone has an opportunity in their own way to leave their mark and I think that is something special we should all embrace,” says Dylan.

“I’m pumped to join the Grant Burge family and be part of Leave Your Mark, a campaign that shares my own desire to motivate people to be the best version of themselves and make a difference. I used to doubt my ability and what I was capable of, and then I changed my mindset. It made me a better person, a better advocate, and opened doors for me to help instigate real social change.”

Additionally, Grant Burge has now partnered with the Dylan Alcott Foundation to help support young adults living with a disability. Later in 2022, the winery will be donating $2 from the sale of select bottles to establish tertiary education scholarships in partnership with the Foundation.
