Thirty years of changing young lives
Thirty years ago, a spark of hope was lit in the Hunter. Today, that spark has grown into a galaxy of research discoveries, life-saving trials and a community of stars who have raised over $2.65 million for children in need.
On Friday 18 September, we invite you to join us for our most significant event yet: The 30th Anniversary Lunch for the Kids, thanks to Hunter Construction Group.
Joined again by the wonderful Johanna Griggs, this afternoon is dedicated to you — our community, our researchers, the families and our donors — who have made the impossible, possible.
Your support has allowed us to fund new ideas that have created better treatments and outcomes for children with serious illness.
Together, we will celebrate a legacy of hope and look toward a future that shines brighter than ever as we aim to fund our next major research grant.
