Helping precious young lives.
You’re a fundamental part of our vision for healthy, happy kids. We rely on our generous donors, corporate partners, dedicated volunteers and enthusiastic fundraisers to help make a last impact on the healthcare of WA’s sick children. Get involved today to help sick kids live their healthiest, happiest lives.
From a simple one-off donation or by regular giving, your impact can make a big difference to the kids we support.
Fundraising is one of the most powerful and enjoyable ways you can get you and your community involved with our Foundation.
You can visit us in-store, have a gift delivered to a child in hospital, or even sent to your home. However you’d like to shop, all proceeds go to the Foundation. It’s the gift that gives twice!
By involving yourself in our events, you can support our fundraising efforts to keep kids happy and healthy.
Your time is one of the most valuable gifts you can give. Whatever your skill set, we’ve got an opportunity to suit you.
Leaving a gift in your will is a generous way to ensure a lasting, generational change to the health outcomes for kids in your community.
